Key Findings

1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator — the median sold price is 235,400 — signaling current market value for recent transactions and supporting continued price strength in a market described as hot.

2. Despite the hot market temperature and year-over-year price gains (up), the median days on market at 228 suggests a slower sales velocity that may reflect pricing friction or extended negotiation timelines rather than weak demand.

3. Pricing density is elevated around the observed median price per square foot of 157, and with median market rent at 1,500 and rent trends up, investor interest in SFR and condo rental cash flows appears supported even as borrowing costs are under pressure.

4. Interest rate pressure is flagged as elevated with current comparable mortgage context showing 6.4% versus a prior 5.6%, a 0.8% increase in borrowing costs; combined with a sample-level constrained active supply, this suggests pricing resilience but a need for careful underwriting on rate-sensitive buyers.
