Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio of 0.33 and an expanding active listing count, inventory is accumulating, which translates to a slower absorption pace. This environment typically allows for greater price discipline among prospective purchasers, as there is less urgency to secure properties. The sustained increase in the share of price-reduced listings suggests that properties are requiring adjustments to align with current demand expectations.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has declined by 9.6% year-over-year, which is notably steeper than the 2.8% year-over-year decline in the median listing price. This disparity suggests potential softness in the higher-price tiers. However, the median price per square foot has remained relatively stable, with a modest 0.4% year-over-year increase.

Supply Dynamics

686 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 212 per month.
