The expansion in days on market and the decline in pricing metrics indicate an environment where purchasers may have more opportunity for price discipline. The contraction in the pending ratio suggests that demand absorption is not keeping pace with supply, leading to reduced urgency in negotiations.
While the overall median listing price has declined, the average listing price has seen a more modest 2.0% year-over-year decrease to $1,011,622.
