Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio of 0.36, the current environment points to less competitive conditions for prospective purchasers. The lengthened median days on market, now at 82 days, suggests that properties are spending more time on the market, potentially allowing for greater price discipline from buyers. The relative slowness in demand absorption places less immediate pressure on inventory, offering more latitude for negotiation.

Luxury Segment

A notable divergence exists between median and average listing prices, with the average listing price up 21.7% year-over-year, significantly outpacing the 5.5% year-over-year increase in the median. Median $/sqft has seen a slight decline of 0.4% over the past year, suggesting some softening in pricing power at higher price points, particularly when coupled with the elevated average-to-median spread.
