Rental Market

Note: The relationship between property values and rental rates reflects different market dynamics. Higher-priced properties may have lower rental yields due to factors such as luxury market positioning, owner-occupancy preferences, or long-term appreciation strategies rather than immediate rental income maximization.

Property Taxes

Liquidity & Velocity

Note: A Sale-to-List Ratio near 100% can occur when properties sell at or near their final listing price after price adjustments during the listing period, even when initial listing prices differ significantly from sale prices.

Market Trends & Context

Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.

Key Findings

1. median sold price is not included in the provided metrics, so a definitive transaction-based market value cannot be stated from this dataset; this absence limits direct sold-price comparisons and requires using listing and trend signals instead.
2. median listing price: $484,500 provides the primary asking-price reference for SFR and condo supply; given the dataset shows elevated inventory relative to sales activity, the current listing level may indicate pricing friction and opportunities for negotiated deals.
3. median days on market: 140 points to slower sales velocity in recent transactions and suggests extended marketing timelines for sellers; combined with the sample’s inventory context, this appears to favor buyer negotiating power.
4. The broader trend context shows price year-over-year trend: up while rent year-over-year trend: down and the market temperature is neutral, with balanced to cooling conditions; note interest rate pressure is elevated, and current 30-year fixed mortgage rates average approximately 6.58%, which may weigh on buyer affordability despite modest price appreciation.
