Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

Current market conditions suggest buyers have extended timelines, with demand not exerting significant pressure on available inventory. While median days on market have decreased, the low pending ratio indicates that properties require more time to move into contract, influencing price discipline. Sellers may need to adjust price expectations to align with the current pace of demand absorption.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price decreased by 1.6% year-over-year, while the median listing price declined more significantly at 6.1% over the same period. This divergence, coupled with a 3.6% year-over-year increase in median $/sqft, suggests a mixed signal at the higher price tiers, without a clear indication of luxury-segment softness in this dataset.

562 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 200 per month.
