Market Heat
Price here is driven by condition and finish more than any single formula. The median sits at $740,000, with a median around $236 per square foot and a median living area near 3,040 square feet. That is a substantial home at the middle of the market, but the building years run from the early 1950s through 2024, so what you actually pay swings hard on whether a home has been updated or rebuilt versus left as-is.
The posture right now is patient, not frantic. A market heat score of 36 and a median of 31 days on market tell you homes move, but buyers have room to think. Prices are off 1.9% year over year, so sellers should price to the current market rather than to last year's optimism, and buyers should not expect to win by lowballing on a well-prepared listing.

Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 11 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($740K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($755K) IS the -1.9% one-year change.

A market defined by condition
With a build range from 1952 to 2024 and a median year built around 2015, this is not a uniform subdivision. Expect to see everything from original mid-century homes to recent construction, and that variety is the single biggest reason the price per foot is only a starting point for underwriting any specific property. Two homes of similar size can sit far apart on price depending purely on how much work has been done.
The homestead share of about 62% suggests a market weighted toward owner-occupants rather than pure investors, which tends to support steadier upkeep and fewer distressed listings. With a median just over 30 days on market and prices slightly softer than a year ago, the leverage is roughly balanced: prepared sellers still transact, and disciplined buyers have negotiating room.
