Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The protracted days on market and increasing price reduction share suggest less urgency in the market, allowing for more deliberate negotiation. The modest inventory growth alongside a significant decline in new listings indicates a slowing pace of transactions. Price discipline is becoming more critical for properties to attract offers.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has declined 8.6% year-over-year, which is more pronounced than the 3.3% year-over-year drop in the median listing price. This disparity, coupled with a 1.0% year-over-year decrease in median $/sqft, suggests some softening in the higher-priced segments of the market.

Supply Dynamics

701 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 180 per month.
