Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

In this environment, inventory pressure is comparatively low, providing more duration for demand to consider available options. The current market conditions suggest that price discipline may be challenged, with sustained negotiation opportunities. The pace of transactions has moderated, requiring extended periods for properties to move from active to pending status.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price increased by 0.5% year-over-year, contrasting with a 5.3% year-over-year decrease in the median listing price, suggesting some disparity in performance across price tiers. However, the median $/sqft declined by 1.1% year-over-year, and no further distinct signals for the luxury segment are present in this dataset to conclude elevated softness.
