Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio of 0.22, the market exhibits substantial inventory pressure, necessitating greater price discipline from sellers. The slow pace of transactions reflects limited buyer urgency, indicating that available properties are not being absorbed quickly. Negotiating leverage rests firmly with buyers, who benefit from a broader selection and extended decision timelines.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price increased by 5.3% year-over-year, while the median listing price remained flat, and the median price per square foot experienced a slight year-over-year decline of 0.5%. This divergence, alongside a significant spread between average ($395,753) and median ($299,850) listing prices, suggests some softness in the higher-priced segments.
