Inventory sits at 5.6 months of supply — balanced by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark, and 20% of listed homes are already under contract. Prices are down 8.4% versus the prior year, but sellers are still collecting 89.7% of asking. Taken together, the data leans toward buyers — leverage is real for those ready to use it.

What It Means

Who has leverage right now

BUYER'S SELLER'S 36
Momentum Score
Buyer leverage64
Seller leverage36

Leverage scores are derived from the Momentum Score (supply, demand, speed, pricing power, and trend). Right now the data favors buyers.

Momentum Outlook
  • Prices — balanced supply argues for a sideways market; condition and pricing decide individual outcomes.
  • Inventory — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
  • Negotiating power — buyers gain ground as 20% of inventory sits under contract.
  • Mortgage sensitivity — at 5.8× income, this market is highly sensitive to rate moves; rate relief tends to show up in demand here quickly.

Derived from current 33409 data, not a prediction or guarantee. Markets move; talk to an agent before acting on any single reading.

The calls we’re making from today’s data

Biggest move
Northwood Add ▼ 16%

The sharpest 1-yr median swing among tracked communities. Thin samples can exaggerate swings — verify with a comp analysis before treating it as trend.

Biggest risk buyers are ignoring
Under $300K: 7.1 months of supply

The most crowded shelf in the market. Sellers here are competing hardest — which means overpaying in this band is the most avoidable mistake in 33409 right now.

Biggest opportunity
$300K–$500K: 3.5 months of supply

The tightest band — sellers in this range hold the most leverage, and buyers should walk in with financing done and terms clean.

What we’re telling clients today

Buyers: ask for concessions — rate buydowns and repair credits are back on the table. Sellers: presentation and the first two weekends decide your outcome; price accordingly.

Plain Answers

The questions people actually ask

Should I buy a house in 33409 right now?

The data says conditions currently favor buyers in 33409 — the Momentum Score reads 36/100 with 5.6 months of supply. For buyers that means preparation over hesitation: well-priced homes still move fast, but there is more room to negotiate than a year ago. The right timing always depends on your rate, your equity, and how long you plan to stay — not just the market.

Is 33409 becoming more affordable?

Yes, modestly — the median sale price in 33409 is $189,320, down 8.4% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 89.7% of asking price. Softening prices plus normal-length marketing times mean affordability is improving at the margin, though financing costs matter more than list prices for most monthly payments.

Where are prices falling fastest in 33409?

Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are Northwood Add (-16%); Village Of Sandalwood Lak (-16%); Palm Beach Place Condo (-11%). Note that community-level medians move on small sale counts — a few high- or low-end closings can swing them — so treat these as leads for a comp analysis, not verdicts.

Which 33409 neighborhoods are most competitive?

Measured by speed of sale, the fastest-moving tracked communities right now are Village Of Sandalwood Lakes South (7 days); Palm Club Village Ii Condo (34 days); Saratoga Pointe (37 days) — homes there go under contract well ahead of the market-wide pace of 67 days.
