PRICE
This week saw relatively little price
change from last week. However, prices
continue to demonstrate a nice up trend
over the last several weeks.
The Market Action Index answers the question "How's the Market?" By measuring the SUPPLY AND DEMAND
current rate of sale versus the amount of the inventory.
Local conditions are currently quite
strongly in the Buyer's Market zone
(below 30). The 90-day Market Action
Index stands at 14. With several months
of inventory available at the current
sales rate, buyers should find ample
choice.
Index above 30 implies Seller's Market conditions. Below 30, conditions favor the
buyer.
