What This Means For You

๐Ÿ Sellers

Sellers are in a strong position as the median sale price of $4,295,000 is coming in well above the median list price of $3,800,000, suggesting competitive offer activity. With homes moving in just 29 days on average, well-priced listings are not sitting long in this market.

๐Ÿ”‘Buyers

Buyers should be prepared to move quickly and potentially offer above list price, given that recent sales have averaged $495,000 over the median list price in this zip code. Larger homes carry significant premiums, with 4-bedroom properties fetching a median of $4,800,000 and 5-bedroom homes reaching $5,500,000.

๐Ÿ“ˆInvestors

Rental inventory is tight at just 69 units available, which supports rental pricing power, though the median rent of $5,400 produces a relatively modest yield against a median sale price of $4,295,000. Investors targeting smaller units may find better entry points, as 1-bedroom properties have a median sale price of $875,000 with 1-bedroom rents at $2,750 per month.

๐ŸฆRates

The current 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 6.66 percent adds substantial carrying costs on a $4,295,000 purchase, making the 15-year option at 5.98 percent worth evaluating for buyers with the cash flow to support higher monthly payments. Rate sensitivity is especially meaningful in this price range, where even a fraction of a percent translates to thousands of dollars annually.
