Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market environment suggests that buyers are encountering increased optionality due to expanding inventory. The moderate pace of demand absorption, reflected in the pending ratio, allows for greater deliberation in purchasing decisions. Sellers are likely to experience increased pressure to align pricing with market realities, given the elevated percentage of price reductions and the declining median listing prices, which may necessitate greater price discipline to achieve transactions.

Luxury Segment

A notable divergence is observed in the average listing price, which has decreased by 13.1% year-over-year, contrasting with a modest 8.1% year-over-year increase in median $/sqft. This suggests some softness in the higher-priced segments of the market, where pricing adjustments appear more pronounced relative to the broader market average.

Supply Dynamics

162 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 44 per month.
