Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary indicator, median sold price, is $537,500, which reflects realized transaction values and suggests recent buyer willingness to transact below prevailing asking levels; pricing friction between list and sale may be present given the gap with the median listing price.
  2. The median days on market is 332, indicating notably slower sales velocity that may reflect extended negotiation timelines or conditional demand rather than rapid turnover; this level of market duration suggests cautious listing-to-contract dynamics rather than immediate liquidity.
  3. The median price per square foot is $400, supporting a high-dollar-per-area market tier that appears consistent with the elevated median listing price; coupled with a neutral market temperature, this suggests stable pricing at the upper end of the local SFR/condo spectrum.
  4. Median market rent is $1,650, and with rent year-over-year trend listed as up while interest rate pressure is labeled elevated, investors and owner-occupiers should anticipate financing headwinds even as rental income shows upward movement; consider underwriting conservatively and prioritizing listings with clear rent-supporting fundamentals.
