Analysis
In summary, the balanced market is best characterized as directionally weakening. The anticipated marketing time of 60–90 days reflects current absorption rates. The negative 6-month $/SF trend (-8.8%), paired with a negative 12-month linear $/SF change (-3.6%), indicates that recent activity has softened values from a firmer earlier period. Inventory is balanced at 3.0 months, sales volume has rebounded meaningfully on a quarterly basis, and the SP/LP ratio of 98.6% indicates buyers and sellers are routinely meeting at the list price.
