Key Findings

  1. The market value reference is the median sold price of 1,056,000, which serves as the primary indicator of recent transaction levels and should guide pricing expectations for SFR and condo listings in the area.
  2. There is a notable spread between median listing price at 1,570,000 and the median sold price of 1,056,000, which may indicate seller asking-price optimism versus realized sale outcomes; pricing friction appears likely and may prolong negotiations for overpriced inventory. down
  3. Sales velocity is slow by typical standards given a median days on market of 283, which suggests moderate market temperature and that properties not competitively priced may experience extended time to contract.
  4. Market fundamentals show headwinds: the price year-over-year trend is down and rent year-over-year trend is down, while interest rate pressure is elevated; combined with a median price per square foot of 593 and median market rent of 2,500, this environment suggests caution for pricing and timing transactions.
