Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pronounced imbalance between demand and available inventory, negotiating leverage strongly favors those with a longer time horizon for acquisition. The expanding supply pipeline implies reduced urgency for transaction completion and a heightened need for price discipline from sellers to achieve absorption.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has declined by 3.2% year-over-year, even as the median listing price has risen, suggesting some softening at higher price points. However, the median price per square foot has increased, providing a mixed signal on the luxury segment's performance.

Supply Dynamics

45 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 12 per month.
