Who has leverage right now
Leverage scores are derived from the Momentum Score (supply, demand, speed, pricing power, and trend). Right now the data favors neither side decisively.
- 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 5.0× income, this market is moderately sensitive to rate moves; rate relief tends to show up in demand here quickly.
