Market Trends & Context
Understanding Market Temperature
A Neutral market indicates balanced conditions where neither buyers nor sellers have a strong advantage, typically characterized by flat price trends, extended but stable days on market, and moderate inventory relative to sales.
Key Findings
- The primary indicator of recent transaction value is the neighborhood's median sold price of $1,456,000, which represents the representative recent sale level for SFR and condominium properties and should be treated as the benchmark for valuation and pricing discussions (up on the price trend).
- The market shows extended time-to-contract with a median days on market of 378, which indicates slower sales velocity and suggests pricing friction that may require seller concessions or longer listing exposure to reach contract.
- Pricing density is high with a median price per square foot of $512, while rents are at a median market rent of $1,875 and the rent trend is up, implying rent growth is supporting valuation expectations even as per-square-foot pricing remains elevated.
- Market-level indicators show a balanced market temperature (neutral) but with elevated interest rate pressure, which may temper buyer purchasing power and could moderate transaction volume despite upward price and rent trends.
