Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market-value indicator is the median sold price 310,760; with the price year-over-year trend described as flat, recent transactions point to price stability rather than accelerated appreciation or decline.
  2. Liquidity appears slower: the median days on market 101 suggests extended selling times and reduced transaction velocity, which, combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity, may indicate increased negotiating leverage for buyers.
  3. Rental market signals are soft: the median market rent 1,755 and a rent year-over-year trend of down imply weakening rental demand or oversupply in the local lease market; investors should factor in softer rent growth when modeling cash flow.
  4. Seller pricing expectations show friction: the median listing price 288,500 alongside a median price per square foot 146 and a higher median sold price suggests that some listings may require price adjustments or longer marketing to reach traded values; this dynamic, together with elevated interest rate pressure highlighted as elevated, increases execution risk for sellers.
