Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The elevated inventory levels and extended market times suggest that properties are taking longer to move through the sales cycle. This environment places increased pressure on pricing discipline for sellers, as demand absorption is not robust enough to support rapid transactions. Buyers may find more opportunities for considered decision-making and negotiation, given the slower pace of sales and greater supply.

Luxury Segment

While the median listing price declined 5.3% year-over-year, the average listing price increased by 3.4% over the same period, indicating some divergence in performance across price points. The median $/sqft saw a modest decline of 0.3% year-over-year. No distinct luxury-segment signal in this dataset.

Supply Dynamics

413 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 152 per month.
