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
Prices have generally settled at a plateau, although Quartile 3 has been declining in recent weeks. We'll need to see a persistent
shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices across the board move from these levels.
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 290 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the
past 238 or so days.
