New listings rose 8.9% statewide while signed purchase agreements increased 7.4% compared to last year. Inventory also climbed 8.1%, giving buyers more choices than they've had in recent years, though supply still remains below balanced market levels.

More listings and more sales are encouraging signals heading into the heart of the spring market, but monthly payments are still the biggest hurdle for most households. Any sustained improvement in mortgage rates—combined with these inventory gains—would truly help open the door for first-time buyers. Sellers should benefit from pricing their properties realistically.

Rates, renewed inflation, and broader economic conditions have a market impact alongside underlying fundamentals like supply and demand. Despite some uncertainty, there's plenty of reason for optimism. More listings are coming to market, sales are rising, and inventory is gradually rebuilding.

With each issue of Curated Magazine, we set out to capture where luxury is now and where it’s headed next. Today’s buyers are more discerning, more globally minded, and more design-conscious than ever before. In response, our agents continue to push boundaries, crafting narratives around properties, leveraging innovative marketing strategies, and connecting extraordinary homes with the right audience in meaningful ways.

Now on our 12th issue, this edition of Curated Magazine reflects that evolution. From architecturally significant estates to serene coastal escapes and contemporary residences at the forefront of design, each property represents a distinct vision of modern luxury living.
