Key Findings

  1. The primary market indicator is the median sold price of 219,450, which reflects recent transaction activity and aligns with a price year-over-year trend of up, suggesting modest appreciation in realized values, with a neutral market temperature that points to a balanced negotiating environment for SFR and condo transactions.
  2. Median days on market stands at 228, which indicates slower sales velocity and suggests pricing friction or longer marketing periods even as overall market temperature remains neutral; this may indicate buyers are selective and that well-priced listings will capture more interest.
  3. There is a notable listing-to-sale relationship where the median listing price of 199,900 sits below the median sold price of 219,450, which may indicate seller pricing strategies that differ from final transaction prices and could create opportunities for sellers who position properties clearly around recent sold comparables (representative recent sale).
  4. The rental market shows a median market rent of 1,150 with a rent year-over-year trend of up, and interest rate pressure is reported as moderate with current 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging approximately 6.5%, which together suggest continued landlord interest but ongoing sensitivity to financing costs for buyers and investors.
