Market Signals & Indicators
With a pending ratio of 0.34 and a median days on market holding at 79, the pace of transactions suggests inventory is taking longer to clear. While active listings have declined year-over-year, the current absorption rate indicates that prospective purchasers have broader selection and less urgency. This environment encourages price discipline on the part of sellers as competition for demand intensifies.
The average listing price of $388,169 shows a 1.4% decline over the past year, in contrast to a more stable median listing price. This divergence, coupled with a median price per square foot decrease, suggests some softening in the higher-priced segments of the market. No distinct luxury-segment signal in this dataset.
