Inventory is tightening and days-onmarket is falling. But demand as measured by the Market Action Index is also trending down. The market is not giving strong up or down signals from these data.

Supply and Demand


Market conditions have been consistently cooling in the past several weeks. Because we're still in the Seller's zone, prices have not yet begun to drop. It may take a few more weeks of slack demand for prices to reflect and begin to fall. Expect prices to fall if the index persistently falls to the Buyer's zone.

Median Price
Prices seem to have plateaued here at the all time high. When we see these conditions, we pay close attention to the Market Action Index to gauge the leading indicators and whether prices will fall from here.

90-day Average

Quartile Prices
Prices at the high-end of the market have been showing strength. However, Quartiles 3 and 4 are in a price decline recently. Often this condition is temporary because price increases at the upper end of the market force buyers to consider the segments still in their price range. Watch the Market Action Index to determine whether demand in the lower-half of the market will reverse trend and push prices higher.

Price per Square Foot


Despite recently falling prices, the price per square foot has stayed reasonably flat. This implies that there's a portion of the market being priced at a premium. You can investigate this condition in the quartile details.

7-day Average

90-day Average

Inventory of Properties Listed for Sale


Inventory has been falling in recent weeks. Note that declining inventory alone does not signal a strengthening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is changing with the available supply.

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.
