Median Price
This week prices bumped up a bit but the trend of recent weeks is generally downward. A pickup in demand will be reflected in
the Market Action Index, so watch that chart to try to identify a change in the market.

7-day Average 90-day Average

Quartile Prices
Pricing across most of the market has been relatively strong recently. While Quartile 3 is basically flat, all other segments are in
an up trend period. Unless the Market Action Index has a persistent downward shift, expect that Quartile 3 will assume a similar
trend with the other groups.

Price per Square Foot


The market's downward trends are shared across both price and value. People are recently placing less value on homes (you can
see the recent declines in price per square foot as evidence.) Look for significant changes in the Market Action Index as a
precursor to price and value changes, possibly as inflection points for good investment opportunities.

7-day Average 90-day Average

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.

Market Action Index


The LAGUNA WOODS market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action
Index stands at 8.98. With several months of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice.

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

First/Top Second/Upper Third/Lower Fourth/Bottom

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.

The properties have been on the market for an average of 86 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the
past 74 or so days.

Days on Market per Quartile


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