Median House Price
Q4 2025Aylmerton's house market is moving lower: the median sale price reached $820,000 in the December 2025 quarter, 0.6% below where it sat a year earlier. That said, only three sales settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level. Zoom out: prices have climbed roughly 119% over the past decade — 8.1% per year on average.
