Rental Market
Note: The relationship between property values and rental rates reflects different market dynamics. Higher-priced properties may have lower rental yields due to factors such as luxury market positioning, owner-occupancy preferences, or long-term appreciation strategies rather than immediate rental income maximization.
Property Taxes
Liquidity & Velocity
Note: A Sale-to-List Ratio near 100% can occur when properties sell at or near their final listing price after price adjustments during the listing period, even when initial listing prices differ significantly from sale prices.
Market Trends & Context
Understanding Market Temperature
A Neutral market indicates balanced conditions where neither buyers nor sellers have a strong advantage, typically characterized by flat price trends, extended but stable days on market, and moderate inventory relative to sales.
Key Findings
- The primary market indicator is the median sold price $945,500, which represents recent transaction activity and supports a stable valuation baseline; overall price momentum is flat year-over-year.
- Liquidity appears slower given the median days on market 272, which suggests extended listing periods and moderate sales velocity rather than rapid turnover.
- There is a notable spread between the median listing price $820,000 and the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and final transaction prices and suggests careful pricing strategy is required to achieve timely sales.
- Rental fundamentals remain a positive demand-side factor with median market rent $1,726 and an upward rent trend; however, elevated interest rate pressure may constrain buyer affordability even as rental demand supports investor interest.
