Analysis
The data reveals broadly consistent movement between overall prices and per-square-foot metrics. This consistency suggests the market is moving uniformly across property size segments without significant compositional shifts in the sales mix.
On the supply side, 3.2 months of inventory reflects moderate supply levels in the market. The significant reduction in days on market signals improving absorption and buyer engagement. The stable SP/LP ratio suggests pricing expectations remain well-calibrated between buyers and sellers.
In summary, the market is best characterized as transitioning through a period of adjustment. The anticipated marketing time of 60-90 days reflects current absorption rates. The negative 6-month linear trend in $/SF warrants monitoring as it may indicate continued near-term softening.
