Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio well below 0.25, inventory levels are experiencing minimal absorption, placing significant pressure on sellers. The extended median days on market and increasing active listings suggest that properties are taking longer to move, necessitating greater price discipline from sellers. The current dynamics indicate a market environment where transaction pace is slow, and inventory accumulation is a key characteristic.

Luxury Segment

While the average listing price increased by 10.6% year-over-year, outpacing the 6.6% rise in median listing price, and median $/sqft also saw a robust 13.6% increase, there is no distinct signal of luxury-segment softness in this dataset. The divergence between average and median price increases does not, in this instance, signify weakness at the higher price tiers.

Supply Dynamics

255 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 68 per month.
