Key Findings

  1. With a median sold price of $547,000, recent transactions indicate the neighborhood’s transaction-level value is stable, and this should be treated as the primary market signal when reconciling asking prices with closed sales.
  2. With a median sold price of $547,000 versus a median listing price of $515,000, there appears to be pricing friction where sellers’ expectations and closed outcomes differ; this gap suggests careful comps selection is important for listing strategies.
  3. With a median sold price of $547,000 and a median days on market of 329, the market shows slower sales velocity—this longer time to contract may reflect buyer caution under elevated interest rate pressure (current 30-year fixed shown at 6.49%).
  4. With a median sold price of $547,000, the rental market strength (median market rent $2,850 and rent year-over-year trend up) signals robust demand for rental housing, which may support investor interest despite a flat price year-over-year trend and a generally hot market temperature.
