Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

In this environment, inventory levels are moderately expanding, suggesting that buyers have greater selection. The slower pace of demand absorption, as evidenced by the pending ratio, places less immediate pressure on inventory. This affords buyers more time to consider options and can lead to greater price discipline on the part of sellers.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has declined by 6.5% year-over-year, in contrast to the median listing price’s 4.1% year-over-year decrease. This suggests a potential softening in the higher price tiers, contributing to a widening spread between average and median pricing metrics. The median price per square foot, however, has increased by 5.1% year-over-year.

Supply Dynamics

314 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 136 per month.
