Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market dynamics suggest a diminished urgency in transactions, with inventory levels expanding while demand absorption metrics decelerate. Buyers may find more selection and potentially greater scope for negotiation, given the relative increase in available properties. Price discipline may become increasingly important for sellers to align with market expectations.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has risen by 7.6% over the past year, while the median listing price increased by 4.2%, resulting in an elevated spread between average and median prices. This suggests a potential weakening in demand for higher-priced properties, contributing to the observed price divergence within the market.

Supply Dynamics

402 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 104 per month.
