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

    90-day Average7-day Average

    Inventory of Properties Listed for SaleInventory has been climbing lately. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the MarketAction Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is keeping up with available supply.

    Market Action Index per QuartileNot surprisingly given the overall Market Action Index, all quartiles are in the Buyer's Market zone with several months ofinventory given the current rate of demand for homes in the quartile. Watch the quartile for changes before the overall marketshifts. Often one end of the market (e.g. the low end) will improve and signal a strengthening market before the whole group

    Buyers/Sellers Cutoff

    Residential house prices are a function of supply and demand, and market conditions can be characterized byanalyzing those factors. Watch this index for sustained changes: if the index falls into the Buyers Advantagezone (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 thecurrent rate of sale versus current inventory.
