Key Findings

  1. Median sold price: $1,520,000 is the primary indicator of realized market value and shows that recent transactions remain elevated relative to traditional local pricing benchmarks; up year-over-year price trend and strong rental demand support continued price resilience.
  2. Median sold price: $1,520,000 versus the median listing price: $707,500 highlights a notable gap between asking and realized transactions that may indicate selective seller success on higher-end closings and pricing friction for properties priced below recent sold comparables.
  3. Median sold price: $1,520,000 alongside a median days on market: 201 suggests slower sales velocity for transactions, which may reflect longer negotiation windows and careful buyer selection rather than outright market weakness; this is consistent with a neutral market temperature.
  4. Median sold price: $1,520,000 and a median price per square foot: $368 combined with a median market rent: $2,295 point to sustained investor and rental-sector interest; however, elevated interest rate pressure (elevated) could temper transaction activity even as rent and price trends remain up.
