Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary indicator, the median sold price, is $208,000, which reflects recent transaction-level value; juxtaposed with a median listing price of $249,900 and a median price per square foot of $201, this suggests pricing friction where seller expectations exceed realized sale prices.
  2. Market velocity is slow: the median days on market is 176, which suggests slower sales velocity and longer time to transact despite a neutral market temperature (market temperature: neutral).
  3. Inventory and liquidity appear relatively constrained in the sampled dataset, implying elevated inventory pressure is not evident and the market remains generally balanced; this dynamic may result in moderate transaction volume rather than rapid turnover.
  4. Financing and rental context: interest rate pressure is elevated and Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in the 21224 area are averaging approximately 6.5% as of June 2026, while median market rent is $1,995 and the rent year-over-year trend is up, indicating sustained rental demand that could support investor interest despite higher borrowing costs.
