Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio of 0.59 and a substantial year-over-year increase in active listings, buyers may encounter improved selection and a more measured pace for decision-making. The expansion of inventory suggests less immediate pressure for competitive offers, allowing for greater price discipline. The current conditions indicate a market where negotiating leverage is less concentrated than in periods of rapid absorption.

Luxury Segment

Average listing prices registered a year-over-year decline of 8.9%, significantly outpacing the median listing price decline of 3.0%, suggesting some price softness in the higher-priced segments of the market. This divergence, alongside a relatively stable median price per square foot, points to a potential recalibration at the luxury tier.

Supply Dynamics

673 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 208 per month.
