Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The expanded inventory and declining pending ratio indicate reduced pressure on available properties, leading to an environment where buyers may exercise greater price discipline. The pace of transactions may be slower, and negotiation leverage could favor buyers as supply absorption lags. The increased share of price reductions (up 4.3% YoY) further suggests a need for sellers to adjust expectations.

Luxury Segment

A notable divergence is observed in the higher-price tier, where the average listing price has declined by 15.9% year-over-year, while the median price decreased by 14.8%. This, combined with a 12.1% year-over-year drop in median $/sqft, suggests particular softness in the luxury segment of the market.

185 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 82 per month.
