Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's representative recent sale is $178,200 (median sold price), which should be treated as the primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity given its reflection of closed deals rather than asking behavior.
  2. There is a large spread between $512,000 (median listing price) and $178,200 (median sold price), which suggests meaningful pricing friction between seller expectations and realized transaction prices; this gap may indicate that sellers are listing above what buyers are paying in the current market.
  3. Transaction velocity appears slow given 365 (median days on market), a signal of prolonged time-to-close that suggests cautious buyer engagement and extended marketing periods for SFR and condominium inventory.
  4. Market fundamentals show price momentum with up (price year-over-year trend) and rent momentum with up (rent year-over-year trend), while the broader market reads as neutral (market temperature) and faces elevated (interest rate pressure) financing headwinds; this combination supports a balanced to slightly buyer-leveraged environment and recommends qualification-focused underwriting and conservative pricing strategies.
