Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

Current market conditions suggest moderating demand, which may lead to slower absorption of available properties. The expansion of active listings suggests properties are taking longer to move, potentially allowing for more deliberate evaluation from prospective purchasers. Price discipline may become increasingly important for new properties entering the market.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price increased by 1.7% over the past year, while the median listing price declined by 5.7% during the same period. This divergence, coupled with a minimal 0.1% year-over-year change in median $/sqft, indicates some softness within the upper price tiers of the market.

Supply Dynamics

968 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 232 per month.
