Key Findings

  1. The primary market indicator, the median sold price of 289,000, represents the most recent transaction-level value and suggests modest appreciation consistent with the reported up price year-over-year trend; use this as the reference for valuation and comps.

  2. There is a noticeable gap between the median listing price of 342,500 and the median sold price of 289,000, which may indicate pricing friction where seller expectations exceed recent transaction prices and suggests agents should emphasize comps and realistic pricing to accelerate closings.

  3. Market liquidity appears slower given the median days on market of 103 combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity; this suggests more time is required to convert listings into closed sales and that negotiability on terms or price may be higher than in a faster market.

  4. Supply-demand and macro signals: the median price per square foot of 157 and a median market rent of 1,870, alongside a reported neutral market temperature and elevated interest rate pressure, indicate a balanced-to-cooling SFR and condo market where financing costs could constrain buyer budgets despite stable rental trends (flat rent year-over-year).
