Median Price
The market seems to have paused around this plateau. The Market Action Index is a good leading indicator for the durability of
this trend.
Quartile Prices
While prices at the lower end of the market has been in a down-trend lately, the upper half of the market has not. Quartile 1
has been trending up recently, but unless we see a persistent up-shift in the Market Action Index, it will likely resume the trend
of the rest of the market.
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 161 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the
past 91 or so days.
