Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

In the current environment, the extended median days on market and the relatively low pending ratio suggest that inventory is not being absorbed quickly. This places pressure on pricing, with properties remaining on the market longer and a higher share undergoing price reductions. The pace of transactions is decelerated, influencing negotiations toward greater price discipline.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price of $229,868 significantly exceeds the median listing price of $158,000, indicating a segment of higher-priced inventory. A notable year-over-year decline of 14.7% in the average listing price, alongside an 18.1% year-over-year reduction in median $/sqft, suggests particular softness in the higher-value property tiers.

Supply Dynamics

149 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 54 per month.
