Inventory sits at 3.7 months of supply — balanced by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark, and 19% of listed homes are already under contract.

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 neither side decisively.
- 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 — buyers gain ground as 19% of inventory sits under contract.

The calls we’re making from today’s data
The sharpest 1-yr median swing among tracked communities. Thin samples can exaggerate swings — verify with a comp analysis before treating it as trend.

The questions people actually ask
Should I buy a house in Hastings right now?
The data says conditions currently favor neither side decisively in Hastings — the Momentum Score reads 45/100 with 3.7 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 Hastings becoming more affordable?
Yes, modestly — the median sale price in Hastings is $289,950, down 13.0% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 95.4% 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 Hastings?
Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are Clear Lake Area (-13%). 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.
