Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current environment suggests that buyers are experiencing enhanced leverage, driven by an expanding inventory and a slower pace of transactions. Sellers may need to demonstrate increased price discipline to attract offers, as the elevated share of price reductions indicates properties are spending more time on the market. The extended days on market, at 67, further contribute to this dynamic.

Luxury Segment

While average listing prices show a notable year-over-year decline of 23.6%, exceeding the median decline, there is no distinct signal of disproportionate luxury-segment softness. The median $/sqft also decreased by 13.7% year-over-year, aligning with broader market trends rather than indicating specific weakness at the top tier.

Supply Dynamics

106 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 28 per month.
