Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator is the median sold price 724,680, which represents the most reliable signal of realized value and should guide pricing strategies for recent transactions; given current conditions, sellers should align expectations to recent sold comparables rather than listing ambitions. neutral
  2. There is a meaningful gap between the median listing price 544,000 and the median sold price 724,680, which may indicate pricing friction where seller asking prices appear detached from recent transaction levels; agents should prioritize comparables and prepare for negotiation concessions or stronger justification for premium pricing.
  3. Median days on market is 74, signaling slower sales velocity that suggests buyers have more time to evaluate offers and that sellers may need to employ targeted marketing, staged pricing steps, or limited concessions to accelerate closings.
  4. Market-level trends show prices are up year-over-year while rents are down and market temperature is neutral; with interest rate pressure at moderate, investors and owner-occupants should weigh modest price appreciation against softer rental dynamics when assessing hold vs. sell decisions.
