Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

In this environment, the elevated inventory and extended days on market suggest a diminished urgency for prospective buyers, allowing for more deliberate decision-making. Price discipline from sellers is likely to be increasingly tested, with the market pace indicating extended property exposure periods. The pressure is on sellers to align pricing with current demand realities.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has risen by 21.0% year-over-year, significantly outpacing the median listing price growth of 1.2%. However, the median price per square foot has declined by 3.1% year-over-year, and the average-to-median spread suggests some softness at the higher price tiers, even as median price increases have been minimal.

Supply Dynamics

243 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 48 per month.
