Rental Market

Note: The relationship between property values and rental rates reflects different market dynamics. Higher-priced properties may have lower rental yields due to factors such as luxury market positioning, owner-occupancy preferences, or long-term appreciation strategies rather than immediate rental income maximization.

Property Taxes

Liquidity & Velocity

Note: A Sale-to-List Ratio near 100% can occur when properties sell at or near their final listing price after price adjustments during the listing period, even when initial listing prices differ significantly from sale prices.

Market Trends & Context

Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.

Key Findings

1. The primary market value signal is the median sold price of $740,000, which indicates recent transaction levels in the neighborhood and should be treated as the most reliable price benchmark for underwriting or comps (hot market).
2. There is a notable gap between median listing price ($650,000) and the median sold price ($740,000), which may indicate pricing friction where seller expectations diverge from recent closed transactions; this dynamic, combined with a median days on market of 266, suggests slower sales velocity for some segments.
3. Market momentum remains constructive: year-over-year price movement is up and rent trends are up, supporting continued appreciation pressure; however, interest rate conditions are a headwind—current rates are averaging 6.63% with a 2026 range of 5.98% to 6.65%, reflecting elevated interest rate pressure that may dampen affordability.
4. Pricing density is indicated by a median price per square foot of $209 and a median market rent of $2,250, which together imply persistent rental demand supporting investment cases; use these figures as direct inputs when comparing SFR and condominium valuation scenarios (contextual price and rent benchmarks).
