Market Analysis

What's moving the Rochester market right now.

Active listings have experienced a modest 2.9% year-over-year increase, yet new listings declined by 4.2% over the same period, suggesting continued inventory constraints. Despite a month-over-month decline of 2.5% in median listing price, the year-over-year growth of 5.2% points to an appreciating market. The median days on market remained stable year-over-year at 32 days, further underscoring the consistent absorption pace.

Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The exceptionally high pending ratio of 2.08 indicates that properties are being absorbed at a rapid rate, placing considerable pressure on available inventory. This environment suggests that sellers can maintain strong price discipline and that negotiating leverage is heavily skewed, leading to an accelerated pace of transactions.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price increased by 2.2% year-over-year, while the median listing price saw a 5.2% year-over-year increase. This differential, combined with a 3.6% year-over-year increase in median $/sqft, does not suggest any distinct softening within the higher-priced segments at this time.

Supply Dynamics

1,140 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 1,000 per month.
