Key Findings

1. The primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity is the median sold price of 347,500, which frames valuations in this ZIP as representative of completed SFR and condo transactions; use sold prices, not listing prices, for market signals.
2. There is a wide gap between the median listing price of 605,000 and the median sold price of 347,500, which may indicate pricing friction and elevated seller expectations relative to recent transaction levels; flat price trend suggests this gap is occurring in a generally neutral price environment.
3. Liquidity appears muted: the median days on market of 197 signals slower sales velocity and longer marketing times, which may suggest buyers are exercising more selection and sellers may need to adjust pricing or concessions; longer time to contract may increase carrying cost risk.
4. Market context is broadly balanced-to-cooling: the market temperature is reported as neutral, price year-over-year trend is flat, rent year-over-year trend is up, and interest rate pressure is elevated (with local 30-year fixed mortgage rates around 6.65%), so investors and owner-occupiers should plan for higher financing costs even as rents rise modestly; elevated interest rate pressure.
