Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

Negotiating leverage favors greater price discipline given the persistent low pending ratio of 0.23, which suggests sustained inventory pressure. The relatively flat median days on market at 70 indicates that transactions are occurring, but at a deliberate pace, requiring sellers to align with prevailing market conditions.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price of $500,330, combined with a median listing price of $399,900, suggests a notable spread between price tiers. Despite this, median $/sqft has shown a modest 2.3% year-over-year increase, but the average listing price experienced a 3.0% year-over-year decline, indicating potential softness in the higher-priced segment.
