Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

Negotiating leverage favors greater price discipline from sellers due to an elevated inventory and protracted selling periods. The low pending ratio suggests that absorption rates are significantly lagging, allowing buyers more time and options. This environment places pressure on sellers to adjust pricing expectations to align with current market realities to facilitate transactions.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price decreased by 5.1% year-over-year, while the median listing price declined by 3.3% during the same period. This wider gap in price depreciation, coupled with a 1.9% year-over-year decline in median $/sqft, suggests a more pronounced softening in higher-price-tier segments.

Supply Dynamics

714 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 256 per month.

Pricing Pressure

of active listings carry a price reduction, +2.7% from prior period.
