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

Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.

Key Findings

1. The primary indicator of market value is the median sold price of 1,056,000, which reflects recent transaction activity and supports the assessment of modest price appreciation with the broader price trend noted as up.
2. There is a meaningful spread between the median listing price of 1,222,500 and the median sold price of 1,056,000, which may indicate pricing friction where seller expectations exceed recent transaction levels and warrants cautious pricing strategies to avoid extended time on market.
3. The median days on market of 457 signals slower sales velocity; combined with the sampled data indicating relatively constrained active supply, this appears to produce a balanced to slightly seller-leaning environment where agents should prioritize targeted marketing and calibrated pricing to improve liquidity.
4. Leasing dynamics show a median market rent of 1,819 with rent trend reported as up, while interest rate pressure is characterized as moderate and current 30-year fixed mortgage rates are approximately 6.6%, suggesting underwriting and affordability remain important considerations for investors and owner-occupiers.
