How We Calculate This

Our score combines five transparent factors — no black box:

  • Days on Market trend — longer = more buyer-friendly
  • Price cuts percentage — more cuts = sellers adjusting down
  • Sale-to-list ratio — below 1.0 = buyers have leverage
  • Inventory trend — rising = more choices for buyers
  • Year-over-year price change — slowing appreciation = cooling market

0-39 = Seller-Friendly | 40-59 = Neutral | 60-100 = Buyer-Friendly
