Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market dynamics suggest a slower pace of transactions, with properties spending more time on the market. While active inventory has contracted, the declining pending ratio and increasing price reductions indicate that pricing discipline is becoming more critical for sellers. Buyers may find more opportunities for negotiation as properties remain available for longer.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price increased by 14.0% over the past year, significantly outpacing the 2.0% year-over-year decline in the median listing price. This divergence, coupled with a healthy 4.4% year-over-year increase in median $/sqft, suggests resilience or even strength in the higher-priced segment of the market, indicating that softness is not uniformly distributed across price points.
