Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator is the median sold price of $178,570, which represents the most reliable recent transaction signal and, when compared to the median listing price of $220,000, highlights a notable seller-asking versus realized-sale gap that may indicate pricing friction and the need for sellers to align expectations with closed transactions.
  2. The market shows slower sales velocity with a median days on market of 166, consistent with a cold market temperature and suggesting extended time-to-contract and more opportunity for buyer negotiation.
  3. Market-level income and unit economics show a median price per square foot of $144 and a median market rent of $1,300; rent is trending down, which, coupled with the price-per-square-foot metric, suggests softening rental demand without implying specific yield or cap-rate outcomes.
  4. Interest-rate conditions are a headwind: elevated interest rate pressure is present, with Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates at 6.6% versus a 5.5% average for early-2026 originations, and the price year-over-year trend is flat (flat), reinforcing a stabilizing but constrained price environment.
