Supply and Demand

The market continues to get hotter. More sales demand and fewer homes listed have contributed to a relatively long run of increasing prices. Current supply and demand levels show no sign of prices changing from their current trend.

Median Price
While this week the median didn't fluctuate much, prices continue to sit at all time highs. A persistent drop of the Market Action Index into the Buyer's zone will be a leading indicator of the price strength subsiding.

7-day Average

90-day Average

Quartile Prices
Pricing trends have been lacking strong directional indication lately. Only Quartile 3 is trending higher. Look to the Market Action Index for persistent changes (up or down) as a leading indicator for the significant price changes.

Price per Square Foot

In a market where prices are rising fairly consistently, price per square foot is essentially flat. This often implies that new homes coming on the market are pricier, and also larger than older homes. As a result the value one can buy stays the same.

7-day Average

90-day Average

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.

Market Action Index

The HAYWARD market is currently quite strongly in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 60.67; 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.
