Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The expansion in active listings suggests easing inventory pressure, allowing for a more deliberate pace in negotiations. While properties are taking longer to sell, the moderate pending ratio indicates that buyers are still engaging, though with potentially greater price discipline. The increased supply offers more selection, shifting leverage towards a more even distribution between transacting parties.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has shown a modest year-over-year increase of 1.2%, contrasting with the median listing price which saw a slight decline. This divergence, alongside a 2.2% year-over-year increase in median $/sqft, suggests resilience in certain segments of the higher-priced tier within the overall stabilizing market. The spread between average and median prices could indicate sustained interest in premium properties or a shift in the composition of available inventory at different price points.

Supply Dynamics

469 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 192 per month.
