Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator, the median sold price, is 209,900, signaling realized market value and recent transaction levels; relative to the median listing price of 189,900 this gap suggests listing expectations may be misaligned with closed transactions.

  2. The market temperature is hot and the price year-over-year trend is up, which together suggest a seller-favorable environment and persistent upward price momentum that may result in strong price pressure on available SFR and condominium inventory.

  3. Liquidity shows slower turnover despite price strength: the median days on market is 258, which may indicate longer marketing periods and pricing friction between sellers and buyers rather than rapid, immediate sales.

  4. Rental fundamentals support demand: the median market rent is 1,450 and the rent year-over-year trend is up, while interest rate pressure is moderate, which may dampen transaction activity among rate-sensitive buyers even as rent-driven investor interest persists.
