Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's representative recent sale is 356,641 (median sold price), which should be treated as the primary indicator of current market value and recent transaction activity; relative to asking behavior this suggests sellers must align expectations with realized prices.
  2. There is a meaningful gap between the 384,950 (median listing price) and the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction where seller expectations exceed recent transaction levels and suggests sellers should prioritize accurate pricing to achieve closings.
  3. With 34 (median days on market) for analyzed sales, the market displays moderate transaction velocity—this pace, combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity, appears to give buyers more time to negotiate and requires sellers to focus on pricing and condition to reduce market exposure.
  4. Macro signals show a neutral (market temperature) local market and elevated (interest rate pressure) interest-rate pressure; price and rent trends are flat (price year-over-year trend and rent year-over-year trend), so expect limited directional appreciation near term and prioritize deal structuring and financing clarity when underwriting acquisitions.
