Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market dynamics suggest a more measured pace for transactions. While demand is consistently absorbing just under half of the available stock, the year-over-year growth in inventory and days on market indicates diminishing urgency for buyers. Price discipline is becoming increasingly important for sellers given the expansion of available supply.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price increased by 2.5% year-over-year to $878,561, while the median listing price declined by 1.7%. Concurrently, the median price per square foot experienced a slight decrease of 0.9% year-over-year to $263, and the median square footage remained stable. This divergence between average and median price movements, alongside the softening in price per square foot metrics, suggests some softening in the higher-priced segments of the market.

Supply Dynamics

11,374 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 4,736 per month.
