Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a cooling market, the pace of transactions has decelerated, and the inventory expansion suggests reduced pressure on buyers to act quickly. Sellers may need to demonstrate greater price discipline and flexibility to attract demand, as properties are spending more time on the market before going under contract. The increasing share of price reductions also indicates an environment where pricing adjustments are more common.

Luxury Segment

While the overall median listing price saw a slight year-over-year decrease, the average listing price declined more substantially by 2.9%, suggesting some softness at higher price points. However, the median $/sqft did increase by 1.0% over the past year. No distinct luxury-segment signal in this dataset.
