Key Findings

  1. 257,000 is the primary indicator of current market value — the median sold price shows realized transaction values modestly above the median listing price of 249,000, which may indicate sellers are achieving slightly stronger outcomes than asking prices in many completed deals; up price momentum supports this observation.
  2. 257,000 paired with a median days on market of 271 suggests slower sales velocity — the lengthier time to contract may reflect buyer selectivity and moderate negotiation room on non-competitive listings rather than broad market weakness.
  3. 257,000 alongside a median price per square foot of 149 and median market rent of 1,625 provides context for value per unit area and rental market pressure; these metrics appear consistent with the observed neutral market temperature.
  4. 257,000 should be interpreted within a sample showing relatively constrained active supply in the analyzed dataset and elevated interest rate pressure; this combination may sustain price resilience even as rent trends are down, so market participants should expect cautious buyer behavior and selective bidding on stronger listings.
