Key Findings

  1. median sold price: unavailable — The primary indicator of realized market value is not reported for this snapshot, likely because recent closed-sale sample size in the analyzed dataset is extremely limited; this lack of a reliable median sold price constrains definitive statements about realized transaction pricing.

  2. median listing price: $2,041,500 — Current asking prices sit at this level while broader price momentum is down, suggesting seller expectations may be ahead of recent transaction reality and that pricing friction could persist until more closed-sale data emerge.

  3. median days on market: 112 — Extended time to contract signals slower sales velocity and, combined with the report's characterization of elevated inventory relative to sales activity, suggests greater negotiation leverage for buyers and longer marketing windows for sellers; the market temperature is neutral, indicating a generally balanced market with a slight buyer tilt.

  4. median market rent: $3,100 and rent year-over-year trend: flat — Rental levels are stable, but elevated interest rate pressure (elevated) may suppress purchase demand and sustain longer listing durations, supporting a cautious pricing stance for investors and owner-occupiers.
