Inventory sits at 4.6 months of supply — balanced by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark, and 20% of listed homes are already under contract. Prices are down 4.9% versus the prior year, but sellers are still collecting 92.2% 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 43

Buyer leverage57

Leverage scores are derived from the Momentum Score (supply, demand, speed, pricing power, and trend). Right now the data favors neither side decisively.

Momentum Outlook
  • Prices — balanced supply argues for a sideways market; condition and pricing decide individual outcomes.
  • Inventory — building 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 5.2× income, this market is highly 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 34788 right now?

The data says conditions currently favor buyers in 34788 — the Momentum Score reads 43/100 with 4.6 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 34788 becoming more affordable?

Yes, modestly — the median sale price in 34788 is $250,000, down 4.9% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 92.2% 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 34788?

Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are Silver Lake Estates Phase 1 (-44%); SILVER LAKE ESTATES (-44%); Scottish Highlands Condo Ph X (-7%). 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 34788 neighborhoods are most competitive?

Measured by speed of sale, the fastest-moving tracked communities right now are Higley (30 days); Molokai Mhp Lt 02-Ha (44 days); Silver Lake Estates Phase 1 (46 days) — homes there go under contract well ahead of the market-wide pace of 70 days.
