Market Trends & Context
Understanding Market Temperature
A Neutral market indicates balanced conditions where neither buyers nor sellers have a strong advantage, typically characterized by flat price trends, extended but stable days on market, and moderate inventory relative to sales.
Key Findings
-
The neighborhood's median sold price is 319,450, which should be treated as the primary transaction-based indicator of market value; with the price year-over-year trend up and a neutral market temperature, this points to modest upward pressure on valuations while overall market balance persists.
-
The median days on market is 260, indicating slower sales velocity and that homes are taking longer to convert; this slower pace, combined with the neutral market temperature, may indicate more negotiation room for buyers and pricing friction for sellers.
-
The median listing price is 312,698, which—when considered alongside the median sold price—suggests listing expectations are broadly representative of recent transaction levels and may reflect relatively balanced seller pricing strategies rather than aggressive markups or discounts; monitor listing-to-sale behavior for segment-level divergence.
-
The median price per square foot is 190, and median market rent is 1,700; with rent year-over-year trend up and interest rate pressure characterized as moderate, rental fundamentals are providing modest support for investor demand while financing remains a cautionary factor.
