Absorption: Current velocity suggests:

• Ultra-luxury: 30-90 days per property
• Premium: 5-20 days typical
• Mid-market: 15-40 days range
• Entry-level: 5-15 days

Pricing: Recent records establish ceiling. Unlikely to see dramatic increases, but current premium levels should hold through month-end.

Seasonal Considerations:

• October peak activity typically extends through Thanksgiving
• Strong momentum may carry into November
• Holiday season (late Nov-Dec) traditionally quieter
• Current strength could extend active season

Key Questions for Remainder of Month

Will ultra-luxury absorb? $11.9M in $2.5M+ properties represents significant test. If 2-3 achieve contract/sale by month-end, expect more premium inventory.

Can Maxwell Lane maintain momentum? 3-day contract at $1,173/sq ft sets high bar. Next listing will test whether this is sustainable standard.

Will entry-level inventory increase? Limited sub-$500K options creating extreme competition. Market needs additional accessible inventory.

Does premium velocity continue? Recent 3-9 day contracts exceptional. Monitor if this pace sustainable or moderates to 10-20 days.
