Key Findings

  1. 78,000 is the representative recent transaction level for the neighborhood; with a median listing price of 78,950, this suggests limited pricing dispersion between asks and achieved prices and stable pricing in the current market.
  2. 78,000 combined with a median days on market of 292 points to slower sales velocity — the market appears to have balanced but patient liquidity where transactions complete at a deliberate pace rather than quickly.
  3. 78,000 paired with a median price per square foot of 71.36 and a median market rent of 1,250 indicates modest valuation levels; given the year-over-year price trend is up and rent trend is up, pricing shows signs of gradual appreciation but not rapid acceleration.
  4. 78,000 should be interpreted alongside elevated inventory relative to sales activity and elevated interest rate pressure (reported as elevated), which may constrain buyer urgency and keep upward price momentum moderate despite the neutral market temperature.
