Market Signals & Indicators
The current market dynamics suggest that buyers are afforded greater optionality due to the prevailing inventory levels relative to demand. While the pace of transactions has slightly quickened with a reduction in median days on market, the lower pending ratio indicates that demand absorption is not creating significant pressure on pricing. Negotiations are likely to be influenced by persistent supply and moderated demand pace.
A divergence is observed in the luxury segment, with the average listing price increasing 3.5% year-over-year, while the median listing price declined. This suggests that activity at the higher end of the market may be influencing aggregate price metrics differently than the broader market.
9,351 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 1,992 per month.
