Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market conditions suggest limited pressure on pricing and a slower transactional pace. The substantial increase in active listings combined with an exceptionally low pending ratio indicates that available inventory is significantly outpacing buyer demand. This environment generally affords more flexibility for buyers in terms of selection and negotiation timelines.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price increased marginally by 0.3% year-over-year, while the median listing price declined by 0.8% in the same period, contributing to an elevated average-to-median price spread. Median price per square foot saw a modest 3.9% increase year-over-year. Overall, the signals for the higher price tiers are mixed but do not suggest significant luxury segment softness currently.

Supply Dynamics

290 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 80 per month.
