Active listings have decreased by 7.2% YoY, while new listings also saw a 2.6% decline over the same period.

Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current environment places less pressure on buyers due to a reduced pace of transactions, as evidenced by a pending ratio of 0.41. The increase in median days on market suggests that properties are taking longer to move, contributing to a market where price discipline remains important.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price of $781,414, when compared to the median listing price of $589,000, suggests a considerable spread, which could indicate some softness in the higher-priced tiers. However, the median price per square foot declined 3.5% YoY, and the average listing price declined 2.3% YoY, providing no distinct luxury-segment signal in this dataset beyond general market trends.

11,465 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 5,876 per month.
