Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current environment suggests a more balanced dynamic, with expanding inventory providing greater optionality. While demand continues to absorb a substantial portion of new listings, the increasing supply could introduce more price discipline and a slower pace for transactions. The year-over-year increase in median days on market to 49 days further supports a moderated pace of market activity.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has increased by 8.7% over the past year, slightly outpacing the 7.2% rise in the median listing price and the 6.3% increase in median $/sqft. This suggests some relative strength or stability within higher price tiers, but not a distinct signal of luxury-segment softness. No distinct luxury-segment signal in this dataset.

Supply Dynamics

278 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 156 per month.
