PRICE
Despite this week's down tic, price
trends have generally been moving up
lately. Prices are below the market's
high point, and so watch the Market
Action Index as an indicator of how
long this trend will last.
QUARTILE PRICES
Often, we find insights by watching
pricing trends within the quartile
segments.
The top end of the market has shown
price weakness in the last few weeks
and prices in Quartile 4 are basically
flat. Without a strong directional
indicator from prices, look to the
Market Action Index for a leading
indicator of where prices across the
board are heading.
INVENTORY
Inventory has been climbing lately.
Note that rising inventory alone does
not signal a weakening market. Look to
the Market Action Index and Days on
Market trends to gauge whether buyer
interest is keeping up with available
supply.

Again this week in this zip code we see
a downward notch for prices. Pricing

PRICE AND VALUE
The market's downward trends are
shared across both price and value.
People are recently placing less value
on homes (you can see the recent
declines in price per square foot as
evidence.) Look for significant changes
in the Market Action Index as a
precursor to price and value changes,
possibly as inflection points for good
investment opportunities.
INVENTORY
Inventory has been climbing lately with
132 properties available this week. Note
that rising inventory alone does not
signal a weakening market. Look to the
Market Action Index to gauge whether
buyer interest is keeping up with
available supply.
DAYS ON MARKET
The properties have been on the market
for an average of 123 days. Half of the
listings have come newly on the market
in the past 73 or so days. Watch the 90-
day DOM trend for signals of a changing
market.
