Supply and Demand

The market has been cooling over time and prices have recently flattened. Despite the consistent decrease in Market Action Index (MAI), we're in a Seller's Market (where significant demand leaves little inventory available). If the MAI begins to climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer's zone, watch for downward pressure

Altos Research Value Statistics

Market Action Index Strong Seller's 62.9 The Market Action Index answers the question "How's the Market?" by measuring the current rate of sale versus the amount of the inventory. Index above 30 implies a seller's advantage. Below 30, conditions give the advantage to the buyer.

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.

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.

The UNION CITY market is currently quite strongly in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 62.92; indicating very little supply relative to the demand.

Buyers/Sellers Cutoff

Market Action Index per Quartile

Not surprisingly, all segments in the market are showing high levels of demand. Watch the quartiles for changes before the whole market changes. Often one end of the market (e.g. the high-end) will weaken before the rest of the market and signal a slowdown for the whole group.

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 Buyers Advantage zone (below 30) for a long period, prices are likely in for a downward correction.
