Key Findings

  1. The primary market signal is the median sold price at 850,000, which represents the neighborhood's most reliable transaction-based value and suggests recent sales are anchoring prices near this level; given the market temperature is neutral, this sold-price level appears to reflect a balanced to slightly seller-favored environment.
  2. Comparing asking and transaction signals shows a notable spread: the median listing price is 799,999 versus the median sold price of 850,000, which may indicate seller price optimism or negotiation dynamics where final sale prices exceed typical asking levels.
  3. Market velocity is slower than a hot market: the median days on market of 117 points to extended marketing windows and suggests moderate sales liquidity rather than rapid turnover, which may create pricing friction for sellers who need to move quickly.
  4. Affordability and carrying-cost context: the median price per square foot is 301 and median market rent is 1,929, while interest rate pressure is moderate with local 30-year fixed mortgage rates at 6.53%, and rent year-over-year trend is down, together implying cooler rent growth and a cautious financing environment that may temper investor demand.
