Key Findings

  1. 166,000 is the reliable indicator of realized market value — the median sold price establishes recent transaction levels and suggests pricing power for sellers in the current cycle.
  2. 200,000 in median listing price versus the median sold price indicates a meaningful asking-to-sale gap that may reflect seller optimism or pricing friction; this gap appears alongside a hot market temperature, so sellers may still capture premium pricing if properties are positioned competitively.
  3. 180 days on market signals slower sales velocity and longer negotiation timelines than a rapid-turn market; this extended time-to-contract may indicate increased buyer selectivity or the need for clearer pricing strategies despite upward price trends.
  4. Market fundamentals show upward momentum — price year-over-year trend: up and rent year-over-year trend: up — while interest rate pressure: elevated introduces financing headwinds that may temper buyer urgency and require sellers to be more flexible on terms and marketing to maintain momentum.
