Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market dynamics suggest a moderated pace of demand absorption relative to inventory levels. While properties are moving faster once an offer is accepted, the overall pending activity indicates less pressure on available supply. This environment suggests a need for price discipline, as a substantial share of listings are seeing price reductions, and buyers may find more opportunity for negotiation.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has increased by 11.2% over the past year, slightly outpacing the 9.0% increase in the median listing price, yet the median price per square foot has decreased by 1.1%. These metrics, combined with the general market softness, suggest some emerging segmentation in the higher-priced tiers.

Supply Dynamics

119 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 40 per month.
