Key Findings

  1. 376,950 is the neighborhood's median sold price and serves as the primary indicator of realized market value for recent transactions; the gap versus the 450,000 median listing price suggests pricing friction between seller expectations and closed deals.
  2. Market velocity appears healthy but not rapid: 46 median days on market indicates a moderate sales tempo that may indicate measured buyer competition despite the broader hot market temperature.
  3. Pricing density shows a 187 median price per square foot, which combined with a 1,850 median market rent points to persistent demand for both owner-occupied and rental SFR/condo product in the area.
  4. Interest rate conditions are a headwind: elevated interest rate pressure and an average 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 6.81% may temper some buyer affordability even as the market remains hot; inventory appears relatively constrained in the sampled dataset, which may support near-term price resilience.
