Market Signals & Indicators
With an expanding inventory base and a moderating pending ratio, the market is exhibiting a shift towards less rapid absorption. While properties are still transacting with fewer days on market, the growing supply may encourage more nuanced price negotiations and reduce immediate pressure on buyers to finalize deals swiftly. This environment suggests a need for sellers to maintain price discipline to attract offers.
The average listing price increased significantly by 24.9% year-over-year, contrasting with a modest 1.1% rise in the median listing price, and a strong 14.2% increase in median $/sqft. The notable divergence between average and median price appreciation, alongside robust $/sqft growth, does not signal a distinct luxury-segment softness in this dataset.
