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

Key Findings

1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator is the median sold price of $790,950, which reflects recent transaction activity and suggests market value is tracking lower given the reported down price year-over-year trend.
2. Liquidity appears slower with a median days on market of 266, which may indicate extended marketing time and pricing friction that sellers should address through pricing or concessions to accelerate transactions.
3. Seller expectations appear elevated relative to recent transactions: the median listing price is $1,025,000 while the median sold price remains $790,950, so sellers should consider aligning list strategy with realized sale levels to avoid protracted time on market and re-listing risk.
4. Rental demand shows resilience with a median market rent of $2,745 and an up rent year-over-year trend; however, moderate interest rate pressure and a neutral market temperature suggest buyers remain cautious, so investors should model financing sensitivity and hold timelines carefully.
