Key Findings
-
median sold price: 1,150,000 — Recent transactions center around this value, which anchors market value and suggests realized price strength in a market classified as hot.
-
median listing price: 1,427,500 versus the median sold price indicates a meaningful spread that may reflect seller optimism and pricing friction between asking and realized values.
-
median days on market: 294 is unusually long for a hot market and appears to signal slower sales velocity and tighter buyer-seller alignment on price expectations rather than immediate uptake.
-
median market rent: 2,427 and a reported rent year-over-year trend of down suggest weakening rental performance, while interest rate pressure noted as elevated (Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates are averaging 6.42%) may further moderate buyer demand.

Key Findings
-
median sold price 500,000 anchors market value and indicates relatively strong realized pricing in recent transactions; with a hot market temperature and price year-over-year trend up, sellers continue to capture robust sale prices, though this may vary by product (SFR vs. condo).
-
median days on market 315 points to slower sales velocity and greater time-to-contract than typical for a hot market; this extended marketing period may indicate pricing friction or selective buyer demand rather than broad market weakness. moderate caution is warranted when timing listings.
-
median listing price 412,750 versus the median sold price suggests a meaningful spread between asking and realized values that may reflect seller optimism or negotiated premiums; pricing strategy should be calibrated to reflect recent sold outcomes rather than listing expectations. contextual pricing adjustments are recommended.
-
median market rent 2,190 and the rent year-over-year trend down signal softening rental fundamentals even as home prices rise; combined with elevated interest rate pressure (Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging 6.42%), this creates a mixed investment environment where capital appreciation may outpace near-term rental income growth.
