Inventory sits at 2.9 months of supply — tight by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark, and 50% of listed homes are already under contract. Prices are down 7.0% versus the prior year, but sellers are still collecting 95.3% of asking. Taken together, the data points to a seller-leaning market.
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 sellers.
- Prices — more likely to stabilize than fall sharply. Supply remains below balanced levels even as prices soften; without a meaningful inventory build, further declines tend to be shallow.
- Inventory — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
- Negotiating power — sellers hold the leverage while 50% of inventory sits under contract.
