Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market dynamics suggest that buyers face minimal pressure to act quickly, given the substantial inventory and low absorption rate. Negotiations are likely to be characterized by extended marketing periods and increased price discipline from sellers as they compete for limited demand. The pace of transactions is notably slow.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has risen by 16.6% year-over-year, significantly diverging from the median listing price, which declined by 6.7% over the same period. This, coupled with a 14.8% year-over-year decline in median price per square foot, signals potential softness within the higher-priced segment of the market.

Supply Dynamics

298 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 78 per month.
