Market Signals & Indicators
Negotiating leverage favors buyers due to the elevated inventory levels and slow pace of absorption. The substantial volume of active listings combined with a low pending ratio suggests that properties are taking longer to move, increasing pressure for price adjustments. This environment necessitates price discipline from sellers to attract offers, as buyers face reduced urgency and a wider selection.
The average listing price of $400,875 significantly exceeds the median listing price of $309,225, pointing to a wider spread between average and median values. This, alongside a modest 0.9% year-over-year decline in median $/sqft, suggests some softening in higher-price-tier dynamics, potentially reflecting reduced activity or price corrections in the luxury segment.
1,642 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 320 per month.
of active listings carry a price reduction, -2.0% from prior period.
