Who has leverage right now

- Prices — pressure remains upward while supply stays this thin.
- Inventory — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
- Negotiating power — sellers hold the leverage while 22% of inventory sits under contract.
- Mortgage sensitivity — at 4.0× income, this market is moderately sensitive to rate moves; rate relief tends to show up in demand here gradually.

The calls we’re making from today’s data
The sharpest 1-yr median swing among tracked communities. Thin samples can exaggerate swings — verify with a comp analysis before treating it as trend.
The most crowded shelf in the market. Sellers here are competing hardest — which means overpaying in this band is the most avoidable mistake in 32561 right now.
The tightest band — sellers in this range hold the most leverage, and buyers should walk in with financing done and terms clean.
Sellers: price to the last 60 days of comps, not the peak — well-prepared listings are still commanding strong terms. Buyers: get underwritten now so you can move when the right house hits.

No — the median sale price in 32561 is $605,000, up 6.2% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 95.0% of asking price. Rising prices mean waiting has a cost; affordability hinges mostly on your rate.
