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.
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.
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.
Days on Market
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.
