Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator is the median sold price: $359,000, which reflects recent transaction values and supports modest price appreciation given the up year-over-year price trend.
  2. Despite the transaction prices, liquidity shows signs of slower velocity: the median days on market: 284 suggests prolonged listing-to-sale timelines and may indicate pricing friction or buyer selectivity rather than rapid turnover.
  3. Supply dynamics in the analyzed sample point to relatively constrained active supply, which, combined with a median price per square foot: $223, suggests sellers can maintain pricing discipline for well-positioned SFR and condo stock while buyers face limited immediate options.
  4. Rental market signals are supportive of investor considerations: the median market rent: $1,225 and a up rent year-over-year trend suggest growing rental demand, though moderate interest rate pressure and current 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging approximately 6.5% may temper near-term acquisition activity.
