- Inventory — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
- Negotiating power — buyers gain ground as 50% of inventory sits under contract.
- Mortgage sensitivity — at 5.0× income, this market is moderately sensitive to rate moves; rate relief tends to show up in demand here quickly.
