Key Findings

1. The most reliable market-value signal is the median sold price of 383,510, which reflects recent transaction activity and suggests current market clearing levels for SFR and condo product in 78259; given observed trends, this price point should guide valuation and underwriting decisions.
2. There is a notable pricing gap between the median listing price of 429,950 and the median sold price of 383,510, which indicates softer seller expectations and may create pricing friction that appears to give buyers negotiation leverage.
3. Market liquidity shows slower velocity: the median days on market is 55, which, combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity and a down price year-over-year trend, suggests sellers may need to price more competitively or accept longer marketing periods to transact.
4. Rental and financing context is contributing to local dynamics: median market rent is 2,200 and rent year-over-year trend is down, while interest rate pressure is reported as moderate with typical 30-year fixed rates around 6.4%—these factors may reduce investor urgency and support cautious pricing strategies for sellers.
