Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary indicator, the median sold price, is 272,500, which with a median days on market of 34 suggests relatively brisk transaction pacing for recorded sales despite broader rate pressure.
  2. Listing pressure shows a narrow spread between the median listing price (274,900) and the median sold price (272,500), which may indicate limited pricing friction and that sellers' expectations are closely aligned with recent sale values.
  3. Market strength signals are positive: the price year-over-year trend is up and the market temperature is hot, implying continued upward pricing momentum—however, interest rate pressure is elevated, a headwind that may moderate buyer affordability.
  4. Rental context: the median market rent is 1,375 and the median price per square foot is 147, while the rent year-over-year trend is up; these facts suggest improving rental demand but should be weighed against elevated borrowing costs (current average 30-year fixed rates ~6.65%).
