Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio of 0.32 and a notable increase in active listings, properties are facing greater inventory pressure, suggesting a more deliberative pace for securing contracts. The expanding supply and slower demand absorption indicate that prospective buyers may have increased leverage in negotiations, prompting sellers to exercise greater price discipline to facilitate transactions.

Luxury Segment

While overall median listing prices have appreciated, the average listing price shows a larger year-over-year increase of 15.2% compared to the median's 6.2%, potentially indicating a shift in the composition of available inventory towards higher-priced properties rather than broad-based price appreciation at the top tier. Median price per square foot has increased by 11.0% year-over-year, but the elevated average-to-median price spread warrants continued monitoring for potential softness in the luxury segment as demand shifts.

Supply Dynamics

165 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 72 per month.
