Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio of 0.24, the current market dynamics suggest a slow pace of transactions and diminished urgency from prospective purchasers. The elevated share of price reductions points to increased pressure for price discipline among sellers, with inventory absorption lagging significantly.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has declined by 2.4% over the past year, in contrast to a smaller 2.3% decrease in the median listing price. This slightly wider decline in the average price compared to the median, coupled with a minimal 0.5% year-over-year increase in median $/sqft, suggests some underlying softness at the higher price tiers.
