Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a notable expansion in active inventory and an increase in the typical time properties spend on the market, negotiating leverage is shifting. The pace of transactions has moderated, requiring greater price discipline from sellers to align with current demand. Inventory pressure is easing, providing more selection for prospective purchasers.

Luxury Segment

Elevated average listing prices alongside declining average prices year-over-year and a stable median $/sqft suggest some softness in the higher-priced segment. The considerable spread between the median listing price ($188,750) and the average listing price ($243,990), with the average experiencing a significant 20.7% year-over-year decline, indicates a particular weakening within the luxury tier.

137 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 34 per month.
