Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator, the median sold price, is 486,500, which represents the most reliable signal of current market value and recent transaction activity and suggests recent closings are below asking levels when compared to the median listing price of 540,250.
  2. Despite a up price year-over-year trend and a market temperature labeled hot, the long median days on market of 339 points to slower sales velocity and pricing friction that may require buyers and sellers to be patient.
  3. The median price per square foot is 236, which, together with the gap between median listing price and median sold price, appears to reflect seller optimism relative to actual transaction prices and may indicate negotiation room for informed buyers.
  4. Inventory appears as a relatively constrained active supply in the analyzed sample while transaction activity is moderate, and with interest rate pressure described as elevated (elevated) and rent year-over-year trend down, financing costs and softer rental demand are risk factors to monitor for near-term liquidity and pricing stability.
