Who has leverage right now

- Prices — pressure remains upward while supply stays this thin.
- Inventory — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
- Negotiating power — sellers hold the leverage while 70% of inventory sits under contract.
- Mortgage sensitivity — at 4.5× income, this market is moderately sensitive to rate moves; rate relief tends to show up in demand here quickly.
