Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio of 0.32, the current market environment suggests a measured pace of transactions.

Price discipline is likely to be a more significant factor in transaction negotiations.

Luxury Segment

Average listing prices increased by 8.3% year-over-year, outpacing the 4.5% rise in median listing prices. However, median price per square foot saw a 1.2% year-over-year decline.
