The substantial year-over-year increase in active listings suggests a market where the pace of transactions is slow, necessitating greater price discipline from sellers. This environment allows for extended consideration periods and offers greater leverage for those seeking to acquire property.
The average listing price has declined by 4.0% over the past year, while the median listing price remained stable. This divergence, coupled with a median price per square foot showing only modest growth, suggests potential softness within the higher-priced segments of the market.
