Market Signals & Indicators
With the pending ratio at 0.33 and active listings expanding, the current market dynamic indicates less pressure on available inventory. This slower absorption rate suggests that prospective buyers may encounter more options and potentially longer marketing periods for properties, influencing price discipline. Properties are taking longer to move from listing to contract, impacting the overall pace of sales.
The average listing price has declined by 3.0% year-over-year, alongside a 2.8% year-over-year decrease in the median price per square foot. The substantial spread between the average listing price ($2,195,231) and the median listing price ($1,034,500) suggests potential softness at the higher end of the market segment.
