Inventory sits at 12.0 months of supply — heavy by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark. Prices are up 0.5% versus the prior year and sellers are still collecting 93.0% of asking. Taken together, the data leans toward buyers — leverage is real for those ready to use it.

What It Means

Who has leverage right now

BUYER'S SELLER'S 39
Momentum Score
Buyer leverage61
Seller leverage39

Leverage scores are derived from the Momentum Score (supply, demand, speed, pricing power, and trend). Right now the data favors buyers.

Momentum Outlook
  • Prices — heavy supply keeps the pressure on sellers; softening is the path of least resistance.
  • Inventory — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
  • Mortgage sensitivity — at 5.8× 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 Wellington right now?

The data says conditions currently favor buyers in Wellington — the Momentum Score reads 39/100 with 12.0 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 Wellington becoming more affordable?

No — the median sale price in Wellington is $650,000, up 0.5% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 93.0% of asking price. Rising prices mean waiting has a cost; affordability hinges mostly on your rate.

Where are prices falling fastest in Wellington?

Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are Villagewalk Of Wellington 5 (-25%); St Andrews At Polo Club Condo (-19%); Wycliffe (-16%). 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 Wellington neighborhoods are most competitive?

Measured by speed of sale, the fastest-moving tracked communities right now are Meadow Wood Of The Landings At Wellingto (13 days); Palm Beach Ranchettes (14 days); Greenview Shores 1 Of Wellington (19 days) — homes there go under contract well ahead of the market-wide pace of 52 days.
