Analysis
The data reveals broadly consistent movement between overall prices and per-square-foot metrics. The steeper decline in overall median prices relative to $/SF suggests a compositional shift toward smaller or lower-priced properties in the sales mix, rather than a uniform decline in property values per unit of space.
On the supply side, 4.3 months of inventory reflects moderate supply levels in the market. The significant reduction in days on market signals improving absorption and buyer engagement. The improving SP/LP ratio indicates strengthening seller positioning.
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.
