Market Signals & Indicators
With a pending ratio of 0.27, properties are experiencing longer market durations, and demand absorption is notably lower than available supply. This scenario generally provides buyers with more time for consideration and negotiation. There is increased pressure on sellers to align pricing with prevailing demand to achieve transaction closure, influencing price discipline.
The average listing price increased by 16.8% year-over-year, outpacing the 6.0% year-over-year growth in the median listing price, and the median $/sqft saw a 2.4% year-over-year increase. This divergence between average and median price appreciation, alongside an increase in average price without a corresponding surge in median $/sqft, may suggest some softness in the luxury segment where higher-priced listings are contributing to the average but not necessarily reflecting broad-based strength in per-square-foot values at the top tier.
203 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 56 per month.
