Summary answer: It's genuinely mixed — the city's own 12-month data shows the median sold price essentially unchanged, while homes still receive an average of 2 offers and the market carries a "very competitive" rating. This looks like a shift toward more deliberate buyer decisions, not a lack of demand.

Why this is a recalibration, not a genuine slowdown

Demand hasn't disappeared — buyers are being more selective, but competition for well-priced homes remains real.
