A straightforward way to think about choice and pressure.

When you are looking for room to negotiate, the market has to give you something real to work with. Last month in Banning, CA, homes were closing at 99% of list price, so the room is there, but it is not wide.
Closed prices stayed close to asking. That is a sign that buyers still need to stay disciplined, because the market is not handing out large discounts by default. For a buyer, I would focus on homes that are priced with the market instead of chasing something that is already stretched. In Banning, CA, the best leverage usually comes from choosing well, not from assuming every listing will bend. I would keep my attention on value, move quickly when the price makes sense, and avoid wasting time on homes that are already overreaching.
