Median Price
Despite this week's up tic, the market seems to have paused around this plateau. The Market Action Index is a good leading
indicator for the durability of this shift.
7-day Average 90-day Average
Quartile Prices
Price weakness is evident almost across the board. Quartiles 2, 3, and 4 have been in price decline in recent weeks, with
Quartile 1 remaining basically flat. Look to the Market Action Index as a leading indicator of the bottom of the market.

Price per Square Foot

The market plateau is seen across the price and value. The price per square foot and median list price have both been
reasonably stagnant. Watch the Market Action Index for persistent changes as a leading indicator before the market moves from
these levels.
Inventory of Properties Listed for Sale

Inventory has been climbing lately. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the Market
Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is keeping up with available supply.

City Overview
HUNTINGTON
BEACH, CA
Market Action Index

The HUNTINGTON BEACH market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action
Index stands at 19.21. With several months of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice.
90-day Average Buyers/Sellers Cutoff
Market Action Index per Quartile

Not surprisingly given the overall Market Action Index, all quartiles are in the Buyer's Market zone with several months of
inventory given the current rate of demand for homes in the quartile. Watch the quartile for changes before the overall market
shifts. Often one end of the market (e.g. the low end) will improve and signal a strengthening market before the whole group
Buyers/Sellers Cutoff
Residential house prices are a function of supply and demand, and market conditions can be characterized by
analyzing those factors. Watch this index for sustained changes: if the index falls into the Buyer’s Advantage
zone (below 30) for a long period, prices are likely in for a downward correction.
The Market Action Index (MAI) illustrates a blance between supply and demand using a statistical function of the
current rate of sale versus current inventory.

BEACH, CA
Days on Market
The properties have been on the market for an average of 174 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the
past 105 or so days.

It is not uncommon for the higher priced homes in an area to take longer to sell than those in the lower quartiles.

The market for this zip code continues its bounce again this week. We're a long way from the market's high point so watch the
Market Action Index to predict how long this trend will last.
Quartile Prices
In the quartile market segments, we see prices in this zip code have settled at a price plateau across the board. Prices in all
four quartiles are basically mixed. Look for a persistent shift (up or down) in the Market Action Index before prices move from
these current levels.

Neighborhood Detail
HUNTINGTON
BEACH, CA

In a market where prices are rising fairly consistently, price per square foot is essentially flat. This often implies that new
homes coming on the market are pricier, and also larger than older homes. As a result the value one can buy stays the same.
