Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator is the median sold price — $186,000 — which signals realized market value from recent transactions and underpins pricing decisions for SFR and condominium sellers and appraisers.
  2. There is a persistent gap between the median listing price and the median sold price — $200,000 listing vs $186,000 sold — which may indicate pricing friction or seller optimism above transaction-level valuations and suggests buyers are achieving modest concessions or negotiation leverage.
  3. Liquidity appears relatively brisk: the median days on market is 30 days and the market is characterized as hot with a price year-over-year trend described as up, which together suggest faster turnover for move-in-ready homes despite a relatively constrained active supply in the analyzed sample.
  4. Market fundamentals show a median price per square foot of $119 and median market rent of $1,700; however, rent year-over-year is down and interest rate pressure is moderate (caution), which may temper investor appetite even as purchase prices trend upward.
