Leverage scores are derived from the Momentum Score (supply, demand, speed, pricing power, and trend). Right now the data favors buyers.

Momentum Outlook
  • Inventory — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
  • Negotiating power — buyers gain ground as 0% of inventory sits under contract.
  • Mortgage sensitivity — at 5.9× income, this market is highly sensitive to rate moves; rate relief tends to show up in demand here quickly.
