Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

Current market dynamics suggest that properties are taking longer to move, with median days on market at 95, up 42.2% year-over-year. The substantial increase in active listings and the declining median listing price indicate an environment where inventory pressure is reduced, potentially allowing for greater price discipline among prospective buyers and necessitating more strategic pricing from sellers to secure transactions.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has declined by 17.5% year-over-year, while the median listing price decreased by 15.7% over the same period. This slightly larger decline in the average price, alongside a reduction in median price per square foot, suggests some softening within the higher-priced segments of the market.
