Key Findings

  1. The primary market indicator, the median sold price of 201,000, points to the neighborhood's transaction-level value and suggests recent sales are establishing baseline pricing; price trends are up year-over-year which supports modest appreciation.
  2. There is a meaningful gap between the median listing price of 285,000 and the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction and elevated seller expectations relative to recent transaction prices; this gap appears alongside a neutral market temperature, suggesting balanced negotiations rather than a clearly one-sided market.
  3. Liquidity appears slow based on the median days on market of 195, which signals extended time-to-contract and slower sales velocity; combined with the neutral market temperature, this may indicate buyers have time to be selective and sellers may need stronger incentives. elevated interest rate pressure could be contributing to longer marketing times.
  4. Rental fundamentals show a median market rent of 1,545 with rent year-over-year trend up, indicating steady to improving rental demand that supports buy-to-rent strategies, while the median price per square foot of 174 provides a static valuation benchmark for comparing SFR and condominium opportunities.
