A real, disclosed premium price range

Median sale price ran approximately $825,000 (3 months through roughly May 2026, +28.4% YoY), alongside a separately cited average home value of $593,084 (down 0.3% over the past year) -- two different measures this record does not conflate.

A real, disclosed cooling-pace signal

Homes sold after approximately 61 days on market on average, up from 36 days a year earlier -- a real signal of a cooling pace even amid continued price appreciation.
