Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The elevated pending ratio, coupled with a substantial year-over-year reduction in active listings, points to significant pressure on available inventory. This market dynamic necessitates rapid decision-making for purchasers, as the pace of sales is brisk. While median list prices have seen some year-over-year contraction, the acute supply-demand imbalance suggests that price discipline from sellers is likely supported by strong absorption trends.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has declined considerably by 18.2% year-over-year, exceeding the 4.9% year-over-year decrease in the median listing price. This disparity, alongside a stable median square footage, suggests potential softening at the higher price tiers of the market.
