I would measure your leverage by current terms and pace, not by assumptions.
If you are trying to buy in Perris, CA and want to know how much negotiating room you really have, I would start with this recent offers averaged 100.3% of asking and supply was 2.05 months. That tells me buyers need to be strategic, not casual.
The immediate implication is that strong homes are not inviting weak offers. In Perris, CA, the recent typical closed price was $606,542, and that sits close enough to the typical asking price to show that sellers are still getting solid terms when a property is positioned well. The pace matters too. A typical sale took 25 days over the previous month, which gives buyers enough space to compare, but not enough space to drift. My read is that leverage exists on a property-by-property basis rather than across the board. Homes with obvious drawbacks may offer room. Clean, well-priced homes may not. Walk into each showing with a pricing limit already set. Judge leverage by the home's condition and fit, not just by hope. When the home checks your boxes, make the offer straightforward and easy to evaluate.
