Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The exceptionally low pending ratio suggests that inventory is significantly outpacing demand, resulting in very limited competition among prospective buyers. This environment places substantial pressure on sellers to exercise price discipline and offers prospective buyers a longer window for consideration and greater leverage in negotiations. The slow pace of transactions reflects a market where supply continues to build relative to absorption rates.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price increased by 7.9% over the past year, significantly outperforming the 3.0% year-over-year decline in the median listing price. This divergence, coupled with a modest 0.6% year-over-year increase in median $/sqft, suggests a potential concentration of new or remaining inventory at higher price points, rather than broad strength in the luxury segment itself.

Supply Dynamics

524 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 160 per month.

Pricing Pressure
