Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's median sold price 237,300 is the primary indicator of recent market value and suggests realized transaction levels consistent with a neutral market temperature; neutral broader conditions appear to be reflected in recent sales activity.
  2. There is a noticeable gap between the median listing price 209,900 and the median sold price 237,300, which may indicate pricing friction or that sellers who reach agreement are transacting above typical asking levels rather than below; caution is warranted when setting list strategy.
  3. The median days on market 514 points to slower sales velocity and suggests longer negotiation windows and underwriting timelines for buyers and sellers; slower sales velocity may indicate liquidity constraints despite neutral market temperature.
  4. Rental fundamentals remain supportive with a median market rent 1,600 and a rent year-over-year trend of up, but elevated interestRatePressure (current 30-year fixed at 6.61% with earlier 2026 originations near 6.84%) introduces financing headwinds that may restrain near-term buyer affordability and influence pricing dynamics.
