Yes, it sits at the premium end of the market, with a median list price of $1,450,000 and an average of about $1,772 per square foot. That said, the range is wide, starting around $169,000, so there are entry points below the median for buyers willing to trade space for the address.

Over the last 12 months, 343 homes sold at a median price of $1,230,000, which runs below the current median list price of $1,450,000. With homes closing at roughly 94% of asking, budgeting somewhat under the list price is realistic.
