Key Findings

1. The primary indicator, median sold price: $307,000, represents recent transaction-level market value and, with prices currently up year-over-year, supports a slight appreciation trend while the overall market temperature remains neutral.

2. The spread between median listing price: $315,405 and median sold price: $307,000 suggests some seller optimism and potential negotiation room; this pricing friction appears consistent with a market that is balanced to slightly warm rather than strongly seller-driven.

3. A median days on market: 243 signals slower sales velocity and suggests moderate transaction volume—combined with interest rate pressure labeled as moderate and current mortgage conditions (30-year fixed averaging 6.53%, which is 0.55% higher than 5.98% earlier in 2026) this may temper buyer urgency and extend time-to-contract.

4. Rental fundamentals remain supportive: median market rent: $1,664 alongside a median price per square foot: $190 and a rent trend that is up indicate continued demand for SFR and condominium rentals, which can underpin pricing stability for investors and owner-occupiers.
