Key Findings

  1. median sold price: 194,500 — The median sold price remains the primary indicator of realized market value and shows the market is sustaining moderate appreciation; up price momentum from year-over-year trends supports continued seller value capture while keeping transactions orderly.

  2. median listing price: 189,900 vs. the median sold price indicates a narrow gap between asking and achieved values, which may suggest limited pricing friction and a balanced buyer-seller dynamic rather than aggressive bidding.

  3. median days on market: 220 is materially long and signals slower sales velocity and extended marketing periods; this appears consistent with a neutral market temperature where buyers have time to evaluate but sales still occur.

  4. median price per square foot: 158 and median market rent: 1,300 together suggest price points and rent levels for SFR and condo product that remain stable while rent growth is flat (flat rent year-over-year), and elevated interest rate pressure (elevated) may continue to moderate buyer activity despite positive price trends.
