A simple way to judge your leverage

If you are buying in Forest, VA, the number I would watch first is inventory. Last month, supply was 2.06 months and the market type was still listed as a seller's market, which tells me leverage is not evenly balanced.
Supply stood at 2.06 months last month. That is not a deep menu of options, and it tells me buyers need to stay organized if they want a real shot at the right home. The practical takeaway is simple. A tighter supply level usually rewards preparation, clean decision-making, and a clear sense of what you will and will not compromise on. Know your ceiling before you tour. Watch fresh listings closely. Be ready to move when the home fits your plan.
