Key Findings

  1. The primary market-value signal is the median sold price 1,406,500, which represents recent transaction activity and indicates the neighborhood is transacting at lower levels than current asking expectations; this supports a pricing-first approach for sellers and underlines that appraisals and offers are anchoring to completed sales rather than listing prices. down

  2. There is a significant spread between the median listing price 1,995,000 and the median sold price 1,406,500, which suggests seller expectations exceed recent transaction levels and may require list-price adjustments or increased concessions to achieve sales; the very long median days on market 428 reinforces slower sales velocity and elevated pricing friction. cold

  3. Market liquidity appears muted with relatively constrained active supply in the analyzed sample and slower transaction volume, consistent with the cold market temperature and the price year-over-year trend marked as down. Use targeted pricing, flexible terms, or staged marketing to accelerate offers in this environment.

  4. Rental fundamentals show resilience with a median market rent of 5,395 and a rent year-over-year trend noted as up, while interest rate pressure is elevated; investors should prioritize cash-flow models that reflect higher financing costs or consider lease-up strategies to capture rising rents. elevated

Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of recent market value is the median sold price 1,406,500, which frames transaction-level pricing in the ZIP and suggests realized values are notably below asking levels; price trajectory is down, consistent with a cooling market.

  2. Despite a high reported median listing price of 1,995,000, recent transactions anchored by the median sold price indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and closed deals, which may require sellers to adjust offers or concessions to achieve sales.

  3. Long selling timelines are evident: the median days on market is 428, which indicates slower sales velocity and cold market temperature; together these suggest buyers can be selective and negotiations may favor purchasers on terms.

  4. Rental demand shows strength: the median market rent is 5,395 and the rent year-over-year trend is up, while interest rate pressure is reported as elevated, implying continued rental demand as mortgage affordability remains constrained.
