Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market-value indicator, the median sold price of $351,374, points to the current transaction-level market and, combined with a reported price year-over-year trend of down, suggests recent softening in realized sale values.
  2. The median listing price of $459,900 sits noticeably above the median sold price of $351,374, which may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and completed transactions.
  3. A median days on market of 263 signals slower sales velocity; coupled with the market temperature labeled as neutral, this appears consistent with a market moving toward balance but with longer time-to-contract than a high-velocity market.
  4. Rent-side and valuation context: the median market rent is $1,843 and the median price per square foot is $205; with rent year-over-year trend reported as up, rental demand pressures may partially support valuations even as sales prices show downward pressure.
