Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio of 0.25 and expanding inventory, negotiating leverage generally favors disciplined offers. The current market environment suggests that properties are experiencing extended periods on market, evidenced by a modest increase in median days on market. Buyers may find more room for price negotiation and less pressure for rapid decision-making, while sellers may need to exercise greater price discipline to attract interest.

Luxury Segment

A divergence is observed in the higher-price tiers, with the average listing price contracting by 3.2% year-over-year, while the median listing price increased by 5.8%. The average price ($145,615) is elevated relative to the median price ($119,000), which, combined with the declining average price, indicates potential softness at the higher end of the market segment.
