Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a very low pending ratio, the current market dynamics place significant pressure on sellers to exercise price discipline. Elevated inventory levels, marked by a substantial year-over-year increase in active listings, contribute to a slower pace of transactions. Negotiating leverage strongly favors buyers, who face less urgency and have a broader selection of properties to consider.

Luxury Segment

Average listing prices have declined by 3.5% over the past year, while the average-to-median listing price spread remains elevated. Median $/sqft, however, registered a 2.4% increase over the past year, suggesting a mixed signal regarding the very top tier of the market.

262 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 140 per month.
