Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market dynamics suggest a significant emphasis on price discipline and extended marketing periods. With a pending ratio of 0.05 and a substantial year-over-year increase in active listings, buyers are likely to experience minimal pressure to accelerate decisions, enabling more deliberate evaluation. Inventory levels are elevated, contributing to a slower pace of transactions and potentially greater room for negotiation on listing prices.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price of $1,396,043 significantly exceeds the median listing price of $699,450, indicating a pronounced skew towards higher-priced inventory. However, the average price has only increased by 1.4% year-over-year, suggesting some moderation at the upper end of the market despite overall median price stability and a 2.1% year-over-year increase in median $/sqft.
