Inventory sits at 4.7 months of supply — balanced by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark. Prices are down 4.7% versus the prior year, but sellers are still collecting 92.8% 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 47
Momentum Score
Buyer leverage53
Seller leverage47

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.
  • Mortgage sensitivity — at 11.0× income, this market is highly sensitive to rate moves; rate relief tends to show up in demand here quickly.

Should I buy a house in Little Torch Key right now?
