this trend.

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.

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 per Quartile


Three of the four quartiles of the market are in the Buyer's Market zone with several months of inventory given the current rate
of demand for homes in the quartile. Notice that Quartile 1 (the highest price group) is showing stronger demand than the
others. Current supply/demand levels identify Quartile 1 as a Seller's market as buyers seem to be placing emphasis on the

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.
