Crescent Park, Palo Alto Market Update

Crescent Park is a balanced market, a good environment for thoughtful decisions on both sides:

More competitive than last year. Waiting will likely mean paying more.
Modest sample size: 5 homes sold in the most recent month. Enough to see the overall trend, but individual sales still nudge the median noticeably. Year-over-year changes are directional, so treat big swings with some skepticism.
