Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market dynamics suggest that properties are remaining on the market for an extended period, with a median of 62 days on market. The elevated supply and reduced absorption rate put pressure on pricing and offer more opportunities for buyers to exercise price discipline. The increased share of price reductions, up 1.9% year-over-year to 21.3%, further reflects this shifting leverage.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has grown by 7.7% year-over-year, outpacing the 1.1% year-over-year growth in the median listing price, suggesting some disparity in performance across price tiers. However, there is no distinct signal indicating broad luxury-segment softness from $/sqft or median sqft data within this dataset.
