The median disclosed sale price in 2025 was $445,100, while the average came in at approximately $1.36 million — a figure pulled upward by a major office complex acquisition on Elmwood Park Boulevard.

The market has shown consistent activity, averaging 26 transactions per year with annual volume ranging from $27.4 million to $67.1 million.
