Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The expansion in inventory and the moderating pending ratio suggest that the pressure on supply has eased in the current market. While properties are moving to contract faster than a year ago, the increasing supply indicates that buyers may encounter a broader selection and potentially more room for price negotiation. Price discipline from sellers will be increasingly critical to facilitate transaction velocity in this environment of elevated supply.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has declined by 6.1% year-over-year, a less pronounced decrease than the 11.2% observed in the median listing price, and median $/sqft has decreased by 9.1% over the past year. This pattern, alongside a spread between average and median prices, suggests some pressure at higher price points, although not definitively indicative of severe luxury-segment softness without further data points.

Supply Dynamics

319 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 88 per month.
