Key Findings

1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator, the $399,000 median sold price, signals the market value supported by recent transactions and aligns with a up price year-over-year trend, indicating modest appreciation in realized sale prices.

2. The $525,000 median listing price sits well above the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and recent transaction levels and suggests that some sellers may need to adjust offers to meet market-clearing prices.

3. The 226 median days on market points to slower sales velocity and, combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity, appears to be extending time-to-close for SFR and condo transactions; with market temperature described as neutral, this suggests a more balanced negotiation environment than a strong seller's market, while elevated interest rate pressure (elevated) could further dampen urgency.

4. The 247 median price per square foot and a median market rent of $1,747, alongside a up rent year-over-year trend, indicate that per-unit pricing is stable and rental demand is strengthening; investors should weigh slower sales velocity and rate pressure when evaluating hold vs. sell strategies.

2. The median listing price is 215,000 while the median sold price is 226,500, indicating a notable gap between asking and transaction prices that may indicate pricing friction or selective seller success depending on property condition and marketing.

3. The median days on market is 380, which signals materially slower sales velocity and suggests longer liquidity timelines for sellers compared with typical market turnover expectations.

4. Price momentum signals are positive: the market-level price year-over-year trend is up and rent year-over-year trend is up, while market temperature is neutral; however, elevated financing costs—described as elevated interest rate pressure—may soften demand for some buyer segments despite rising price and rent trends.
