Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio of 0.48 and an 8.0% year-over-year expansion in active listings, inventory pressure is somewhat easing. This environment suggests a more measured pace of transactions and requires greater price discipline from sellers, particularly given the slight month-over-month decline in median listing prices. Buyers may find a marginally increased window for negotiation.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has risen by 9.8% year-over-year, exceeding the 4.2% increase in the median listing price. This indicates a divergent trend where higher-priced inventory contributes disproportionately to the average, although without additional luxury-tier metrics (e.g., top 10% price tier), further conclusions are limited.

Supply Dynamics

717 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 324 per month.
