Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

In this market, the substantial supply relative to demand absorption necessitates increased price discipline from sellers. The low pending ratio suggests that prospective buyers have a prolonged window for consideration, exerting pressure on transaction pace and providing considerable leverage in negotiations. Inventory levels, though slightly reduced, are still ample enough to support a protracted decision-making process for purchasers.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has declined significantly, down 10.7% year-over-year, while the median listing price declined by 2.9% over the same period. This notable divergence, combined with a 6.1% year-over-year decrease in median $/sqft, suggests a degree of softening at the higher price tiers within the market.

Supply Dynamics

616 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 190 per month.
