Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With the current pending ratio at 0.26, the pace of sales is notably slower than the rate of new inventory introduction. This dynamic places upward pressure on days on market, necessitating greater price discipline from sellers. Negotiating leverage has shifted, reflecting the increased inventory and slower absorption rates.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price of $1,268,291 is significantly higher than the median of $605,000, and it experienced a 6.5% increase over the past year. This widening spread, juxtaposed with a declining median price and median price per square foot, points to a potential disconnect or concentration of inventory at the higher price tiers, though median square footage remains stable.

Supply Dynamics

366 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 72 per month.
