Key Findings

  1. The primary market value indicator is the median sold price of $924,000, which reflects recent transaction activity and should be the anchor for valuation and underwriting decisions.

  2. The median listing price of $849,000 sits below the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction between asking and realized sale prices and suggests that closed sales include higher-quality or premium transactions relative to current asks.

  3. The long median days on market of 391 points to slower sales velocity; combined with relatively constrained active supply and rising inventory, this suggests pricing pressure and extended time to close that buyers and sellers should plan for in contract timelines.

  4. Local momentum shows prices year-over-year are up while rents year-over-year are up, with a neutral market temperature and moderate interest rate pressure; this combination suggests continued price support from rent growth but potential buyer sensitivity to financing costs.

Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary indicator, the median sold price, is 589,000, which establishes recent transaction value and suggests sellers are achieving prices above asking in some cases given the lower median listing price; this supports positioning comparable listings competitively rather than relying on aggressive ask-to-close markup.

  2. The sample shows a relatively constrained active supply alongside a median days on market of 401, which implies slower sales velocity and potential pricing friction — sellers should expect longer time-to-contract and buyers may need patience for appropriately priced inventory.

  3. Pricing density is high with a median price per square foot of 535 and a median listing price of 547,000, indicating that per-square-foot expectations are a primary value driver; price adjustments should be considered at the per-square-foot level to align offers with recent solds.

  4. Rental demand appears supportive with a median market rent of 2,500 and a rent year-over-year trend marked as up, while interest rate pressure is characterized as moderate; investors should weigh current financing costs against rising rents and the neutral market temperature when assessing buy-and-hold opportunities.
