Active listings that have already cut their price
The market tells you where leverage is. Every dollar in this chart was originally asked for — then quietly reduced when the home didn’t move.
The dollar that matters most
Median price-per-square-foot is how sophisticated buyers and sellers normalize value. Same number, two very different tiers.
When the market actually moves
Most buyers and sellers assume summer. The data says otherwise. Average closings by calendar month, across the last 24 months.
Different price tiers, different markets
Where you buy or sell on the price ladder determines how much leverage you actually have.
