Market Signals & Indicators
The expansion in active listings coupled with a moderating pending ratio suggests that price discipline may become more prevalent. The increasing median days on market indicates a less urgent sales pace, potentially allowing for more deliberative transactions. The elevated share of price reductions further points to an environment where price adjustments are more common.
While average listing prices have declined year-over-year (-1.4%), the median $/sqft has remained relatively stable (0.3% year-over-year increase). The spread between average and median listing prices (average $307,473 vs. median $281,000) does not strongly signal distinct softness specifically within the luxury segment given the overall market price trends.
1,654 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 542 per month.
