Median Price
Despite this week's up tic, the market seems to have paused around this plateau. The Market Action Index is a good leading
indicator for the durability of this shift.
Quartile Prices
Prices have generally settled at a plateau, although Quartile 1 has been trending a bit downward 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 209 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the
past 126 or so days.
