The market seems to have paused
around this plateau. The Market Action
Index is a good leading indicator for the
durability of this trend.
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 16. 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.
