Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator, median sold price, is 272,950, which represents recent transaction value and—when contrasted with the median listing price of 419,900—suggests a notable gap between seller expectations and realized sale prices, indicating pricing friction in the market.
  2. The market shows extended marketing times with median days on market at 292, which points to slower sales velocity and may indicate that sellers should expect longer listing periods before achieving a representative recent sale.
  3. With a median price per square foot of 151 and the market temperature reported as neutral, conditions appear balanced overall—transactions are occurring but without strong directional pressure, supporting a neutral market stance for pricing and negotiation.
  4. Interest rate pressure is elevated (property rate comparison notes current 30‑year averages at 6.4% versus 6.0% earlier), and rent year‑over‑year trend is up, which together suggest financing costs are a headwind while rental demand and rents remain supportive for investors and owners, creating a mixed signal for near‑term transaction activity.
