Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market dynamics suggest a moderating pace of sales, with inventory levels rising and transactions taking longer to finalize. This reduction in competitive pressure may lead to increased price discipline from sellers as homes spend more time on market, and buyers may find more opportunities for negotiation.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price increased by 13.4% year-over-year, significantly outpacing the 3.8% year-over-year increase in median listing price, suggesting some variability in performance at the higher price tiers. However, the median $/sqft saw a slight year-over-year decline of 0.3%, indicating some potential softness in per-square-foot valuations across the market spectrum.

Supply Dynamics

590 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 188 per month.
