Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

In this cooling environment, buyers are likely to experience extended periods for property evaluation due to slower transaction paces. The current pending ratio suggests that sellers may need to exercise greater price discipline to align with buyer expectations, as demand absorption is lagging supply. The stable median days on market could allow for more deliberate negotiation processes.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price, at $610,895, is notably higher than the median listing price of $425,000. While the average price has declined by 0.7% year-over-year, and median $/sqft by 2.0% year-over-year, these movements do not provide a distinct signal of luxury-segment softness beyond the general market trends in this dataset.

Supply Dynamics

29,549 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 9,392 per month.
