Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of market value is the median sold price of 168,500, which represents the most reliable snapshot of recent transaction activity and suggests pricing stability with modest upward pressure (up).
  2. Liquidity appears constrained by slower sales velocity: the median days on market is 537, which points to extended time-to-sale and suggests pricing friction rather than rapid turnover in transactions.
  3. Price efficiency remains moderate: the median price per square foot is 144, which combined with the median sold price indicates reasonably consistent valuation metrics for SFR and condominium stock and may imply balanced seller expectations against recent sale prices.
  4. Rental market strength is a positive contextual signal for investors—median market rent is 706 and rent trends are up while interest rate pressure is assessed as moderate, indicating financing costs may temper but not yet negate rising rental income dynamics.
