Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The elevated pending ratio of 0.62 suggests an environment where demand absorption is strong, influencing the pace of transactions. With contracting new listings and an expanding pending ratio, potential buyers may face quicker absorption of available properties. This scenario implies reduced time for negotiation and greater price discipline from sellers.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has slightly declined by 0.2% year-over-year, while the median $/sqft saw a modest 1.8% increase. The average-to-median price spread of $23,898, combined with this slight average price contraction, indicates some softening at the higher price tiers despite overall market appreciation.

245 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 118 per month.
