Supply and Demand

The market has been cooling off a bit in recent weeks, as more homes are available and demand is less. We're already seeing prices move lower as a result. Expect this trend to continue expecially if the index falls to the Buyer's zone. Watch for a persistent up-turn in Market Action to signal prices rising again.

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.

7-day Average

90-day Average

Inventory of Properties Listed for Sale

Inventory has been relatively steady around these levels in recent weeks.

The UNION CITY market is currently quite strongly in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 63.18; 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.
