Key Findings

  1. The primary market-value signal is the median sold price of 349,000, which, when viewed against the higher median listing price of 434,500, suggests a meaningful spread that may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and completed transactions in recent SFR and condominium sales.
  2. The market shows moderate liquidity with a median days on market of 56, which typically suggests slower sales velocity compared with faster-moving segments and may require realistic pricing or concessioning to accelerate transactions.
  3. Market fundamentals remain strong: year-over-year price trend is up and rent year-over-year trend is up, supported by a median market rent of 2,200, indicating continued demand for both ownership and rental options in the area.
  4. Interest rate pressure is elevated; current 30-year fixed mortgage rates are 6.8% versus a 5.9% average when loans originated in January 2026, a dynamic that may temper buyer affordability and increase sensitivity to asking prices—this is a negative headwind for pace of sales despite a hot market temperature.
