Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

Sellers may need to exercise price discipline and be prepared for longer marketing periods.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price of $201,620 is higher than the median of $160,000, suggesting some differentiation in pricing tiers, yet the median $/sqft saw a slight year-over-year decline of 1.0%.
