over the last several weeks.

Price per Square Foot


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.

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 SAN DIEGO market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action Index
stands at 22.50. 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

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.
