Current Mortgage Rate Context

Key Findings

  1. $509,000 — The <strong>median sold price</strong> is the primary indicator of recent market value and suggests transactions are closing at this level; given the hot market temperature and up price year-over-year trend, sellers can expect continued price support in the near term.
  2. $952,950 — The <strong>median listing price</strong> sits well above the median sold price, which may indicate a meaningful gap between seller expectations and completed transactions and could create pricing friction for higher-priced inventory.
  3. 308 — The <strong>median days on market</strong> is 308, which points to slower sales velocity and suggests that even in a hot market there is extended time to transact; this may reflect selective buyer behavior or price resistance at current asking levels.
  4. $198 — The <strong>median price per square foot</strong> of $198 and a <strong>median market rent</strong> of $2,000 provide contextual benchmarks for valuation conversations, while moderate interest rate pressure (current 30-year fixed ~6.6%) may continue to constrain affordability and buyer pool depth.
