Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

In this stabilizing environment, the pace of transactions suggests a measured absorption of available properties. The current inventory levels, with active listings down 1.6% year-over-year, maintain some pressure on supply, supporting price discipline. Negotiating leverage is relatively balanced, with neither side experiencing significant urgency from market dynamics.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price increased by 4.7% year-over-year, lagging the 6.0% increase in the median listing price, which implies some relative softness in the higher-priced tiers. However, the median price per square foot still grew 1.9% over the past year. No distinct luxury-segment signal in this dataset.
