Asking Price Per Square Foot Average Days on Market (DoM) Inventory of Properties Listed Most Expensive Listing

With inventory and days-on-market basically unchanged and the Market Action Index decreasing, the market is not sending strong directional signal for the near-term outlook.

Supply and Demand


In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller's Market zone so watch changes in the MAI. If the market heats up, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.

Altos Research Value Statistics


Market Action Index Seller's Advantage 35.5 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.

Market Action Index


The PHOENIX market is currently in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 35.52 which indicates that demand is strong and available supply of homes gets snapped up relatively quickly.

90-day Average

Buyers/Sellers Cutoff

Market Action Index per Quartile


The lowest segment of the market (Quartile 4) is the only segment in the Buyer's Market zone with several months of inventory given the current rate of demand for homes in the quartile. The rest of the market (Quartiles 1, 2, and 3) is showing demand strength in the Seller's Market zone. Expect pricing conditions to favor the buyer at the low end.

Second/Upper

Third/Lower

Fourth/Bottom

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.
