Median Price Despite this week's down tic, price trends in this zip code have generally been moving up lately. We are below the market's high point, and we'll investigate the Market Action Index later on to see if we expect this week's blip to become a downward trend.

Quartile Prices In the quartile market segments, we see prices in this zip code without strong directional indication lately. Quartiles 2 and 4 are mixed, while Quartile 3 is up and Quartile 1 is down. Look to persistent shifts in the Market Action Index as a leading indicator for strong moves (up or down) in the market as a whole.

Price per Square Foot The market appears to be placing an increasing premium on homes. When list prices and price per square foot consistently increase in tandem, as they're doing now, you can often find short-term investment opportunities. Watch the Market Action Index for persistent changes as a leading indicator for these trends to flatten or drop.

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.

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 Buyer’s Advantage zone (below 30) for a long period, prices are likely in for a downward correction. The Market Action Index (MAI) illustrates a blance between supply and demand using a statistical function of the current rate of sale versus current inventory. Thursday September 17, 2009
