Inventory sits at 4.9 months of supply — balanced by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark, and 15% of listed homes are already under contract. Prices are down 0.4% versus the prior year, but sellers are still collecting 95.7% 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 50
Momentum Score
Buyer leverage50
Seller leverage50

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 15% of inventory sits under contract.
  • Mortgage sensitivity — at 3.9× income, this market is moderately sensitive to rate moves; rate relief tends to show up in demand here gradually.

The calls we’re making from today’s data

Biggest move
Highridge Estates ▼ 38%

The sharpest 1-yr median swing among tracked communities. Thin samples can exaggerate swings — verify with a comp analysis before treating it as trend.

Biggest risk buyers are ignoring
$300K–$500K: 5.6 months of supply

The most crowded shelf in the market. Sellers here are competing hardest — which means overpaying in this band is the most avoidable mistake in Keystone Heights right now.

Biggest opportunity
Under $300K: 4.5 months of supply

The tightest band — sellers in this range hold the most leverage, and buyers should walk in with financing done and terms clean.

What we’re telling clients today

Both sides have a case: buyers should negotiate on days-on-market, sellers should lean on the under-contract rate. Preparation, not the market, decides who wins a balanced tape.

Plain Answers

The questions people actually ask

Should I buy a house in Keystone Heights right now?

The data says conditions currently favor neither side decisively in Keystone Heights — the Momentum Score reads 50/100 with 4.9 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 Keystone Heights becoming more affordable?

Yes, modestly — the median sale price in Keystone Heights is $269,900, down 0.4% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 95.7% 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 Keystone Heights?

Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are Highridge Estates (-38%); Florida Frontier (-1%); Big Tree Lakes (4%). 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 Keystone Heights neighborhoods are most competitive?

Measured by speed of sale, the fastest-moving tracked communities right now are Silver Sands Estates (14 days); Big Tree Lakes (28 days); Florida Frontier (36 days) — homes there go under contract well ahead of the market-wide pace of 48 days.

How does Keystone Heights compare to the rest of Clay County?

Keystone Heights's median of $269,900 runs 19% below the county-wide median of $335,235, and homes here take 48 days to go under contract versus 46 county-wide.
