Inventory sits at 6.1 months of supply — heavy by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark. Prices are down 5.7% versus the prior year, but sellers are still collecting 95.6% of asking. Taken together, the data points to a broadly balanced market where preparation decides who wins.

What It Means

Who has leverage right now

BUYER'S SELLER'S 51
Momentum Score
Buyer leverage49
Seller leverage51

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 — heavy supply keeps the pressure on sellers; softening is the path of least resistance.
  • Inventory — building over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
  • Mortgage sensitivity — at 11.0× 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 Cudjoe Key right now?

The data says conditions currently favor neither side decisively in Cudjoe Key — the Momentum Score reads 51/100 with 6.1 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 Cudjoe Key becoming more affordable?

Yes, modestly — the median sale price in Cudjoe Key is $853,000, down 5.7% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 95.6% 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 Cudjoe Key?

Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are Cutthroat Harbor Estates (-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 Cudjoe Key neighborhoods are most competitive?

Measured by speed of sale, the fastest-moving tracked communities right now are Cutthroat Harbor Estates (24 days); VENTURE OUT (94 days) — homes there go under contract well ahead of the market-wide pace of 46 days.

How does Cudjoe Key compare to the rest of Monroe County?

Cudjoe Key's median of $853,000 runs 5% below the county-wide median of $900,000, and homes here take 46 days to go under contract versus 82 county-wide.
