Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of market value is the median sold price of $489,000, which reflects recent transaction levels and suggests realized pricing in the market; combined with a median days on market of 219, this appears to indicate slower sales velocity despite ongoing price strength (slower transaction velocity).
  2. Seller pricing expectations show a gap between asking and realized value: the median listing price of $519,900 sits above the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction or sellers testing the market rather than transactions closing at list.
  3. Market fundamentals point to continued strength: the market is characterized as hot, and rents are rising with a median market rent of $2,100, supporting price appreciation and investor interest while interest rate dynamics are a moderating factor (moderate interest rate pressure noted).
  4. Supply and liquidity signals suggest relatively constrained active supply versus recent sales activity in the analyzed sample, which, taken with a median price per square foot of $227, supports maintained price levels and implies careful pricing is required to convert listings into sales (hot market).
