Market Signals & Indicators

The market pace indicates a shift towards more balanced negotiations.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has grown by 10.1% over the past year, while the median price increased by 3.8% and median $/sqft declined by 4.2%. This divergence suggests some softness within the higher-priced segments of the market, where pricing power may be less robust than in the broader market.
