Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of market value is the median sold price of 385,630, which represents the clearest signal of recent transaction activity and suggests softening value relative to local asking expectations.
  2. There is a meaningful gap between the median listing price of 430,500 and the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction and down pressure on realized prices as sellers adjust to market conditions.
  3. Market liquidity is slow: the median days on market of 103 points to extended listing periods and suggests cold market dynamics with longer negotiation windows for buyers and sellers.
  4. Inventory conditions appear elevated relative to sales activity (sample-based), and combined with elevated interest rate pressure—current 30-year fixed mortgage rates at 6.75% versus 5.99% in January 2026—this environment may sustain downward price pressure and prolonged time-to-sale for SFR and condominium listings.
