Inventory sits at 8.8 months of supply — heavy by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark, and 18% of listed homes are already under contract. Prices are down 1.9% versus the prior year, but sellers are still collecting 95.5% 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 — heavy supply keeps the pressure on sellers; softening is the path of least resistance.
  • Inventory — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
  • Negotiating power — buyers gain ground as 18% of inventory sits under contract.
  • Mortgage sensitivity — at 4.9× income, this market is moderately sensitive to rate moves; rate relief tends to show up in demand here quickly.

Plain Answers

The questions people actually ask

Should I buy a house in 34602 right now?

The data says conditions currently favor buyers in 34602 — the Momentum Score reads 36/100 with 8.8 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 34602 becoming more affordable?

Yes, modestly — the median sale price in 34602 is $305,000, down 1.9% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 95.5% 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 34602?

Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are HILL N DALE (-5%); SHERMAN OAKS (-2%); TRILBY CROSSING (-1%). 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 34602 neighborhoods are most competitive?

Measured by speed of sale, the fastest-moving tracked communities right now are HILL N DALE (12 days); SHERMAN HILLS SEC 3 (42 days); SHERMAN OAKS (94 days) — homes there go under contract well ahead of the market-wide pace of 95 days.
