Negotiating Leverage

Negotiating leverage favors those with pricing discipline due to expanded inventory and a considerably slower pace of transactions, as evidenced by median days on market increasing 35.0% year-over-year. The low pending ratio of 0.14 indicates minimal demand pressure, allowing for extended consideration periods. This environment necessitates strategic pricing and patience for asset disposition.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price in the market experienced a notable decline of 13.8% year-over-year, widening its spread relative to the median listing price, which only saw a 1.5% year-over-year gain.
