Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio of 0.18, demand absorption is severely lagging available inventory, leading to reduced market velocity. The significant year-over-year growth in active listings exerts considerable inventory pressure, necessitating greater price discipline from sellers. This environment allows for more extended evaluation periods for prospective purchasers and suggests a slower transaction pace.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price of $416,430 is elevated compared to the median listing price of $369,675. However, the average listing price has declined by 1.2% year-over-year, and median $/sqft has seen only a modest 1.1% annual increase, suggesting some softening at higher price points without a distinct luxury-segment signal in this dataset.

Supply Dynamics

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