Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

In this Cooling environment, the elevated inventory levels and extended days on market suggest that properties are taking longer to move through the sales cycle. The contracting pending ratio indicates less immediate demand pressure, affording potential buyers more time for evaluation and potentially influencing price discipline. Sellers may experience reduced urgency in competitive bidding scenarios.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has declined by 4.8% over the past year, with the median price per square foot also decreasing by 1.2% year-over-year, while the median listing price declined by 3.7%. This suggests some weakening in pricing power, particularly at higher price points, although no distinct luxury-segment signal is explicitly visible in the average-versus-median spread dynamics provided.

Supply Dynamics

800 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 240 per month.
