Market Signals & Indicators
With a pending ratio of 0.13 and active listings up 28.0% year-over-year, the pace of demand absorption is slow, placing pressure on inventory. This dynamic necessitates greater price discipline from sellers, as extended market times and elevated inventory levels provide significant latitude for buyers during negotiations.
The average listing price of $500,142 compared to a median of $400,000 indicates a notable spread. However, with average listing prices seeing only a 0.2% increase year-over-year, and median $/sqft up 1.1%, there is no distinct signal of luxury-segment softness in this dataset.
1,024 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 312 per month.
