Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of recent transaction value is the $674,000 median sold price, which points to current market value for SFR and condo transactions and should be the focus for pricing comparables when listing or valuing assets.
  2. Market momentum shows the $674,000 median sold price alongside a documented price year-over-year trend of down, indicating softening transactional pricing that may require sellers to be more price-competitive to execute sales.
  3. Liquidity and market temperature are consistent with cooler conditions: the overall marketTemperature is cold, and this aligns with elevated interestRatePressure described as elevated, which may prolong negotiations and increase sensitivity to list-to-sale price gaps.
  4. Rent and unit economics are also easing: the $3,319 median market rent and a median price per square foot of $1,019 occur alongside a rent year-over-year trend of down, suggesting rental cashflow has softened and investors should reassess short-term yield expectations given the current rate environment (~6.6% 30-year fixed mortgage context).
