Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood’s primary market signal is the median sold price of 369,500, which indicates recent transaction-level value and suggests a resilient pricing baseline for SFR and condominium properties; given the broader context, this appears consistent with a up price trend.
  2. There is a meaningful gap between the median listing price of 399,970 and the median sold price of 369,500, which may indicate seller pricing expectations ahead of realized transaction prices and could create pricing friction during negotiations.
  3. Liquidity appears muted by slower turnover: the median days on market of 312 points to prolonged listing periods and suggests slower sales velocity, even though the market is characterized as hot overall; sellers should expect variable time-to-contract across property condition and price bands.
  4. Market support metrics show a median price per square foot of 245 and a median market rent of 1,195, while rent and price trends are both reported as up; combine this with moderate interest rate pressure to infer continued buyer interest but with financing sensitivity at current rates (approximately 6.4%–6.9%).
