Median PriceDespite this week's down tic, the market seems to have paused around this plateau. The Market Action Index is a good leadingindicator for the durability of this shift.

90-day Average7-day Average

Quartile PricesPrices in most of the market have stabilized recently. Only Quartile 4 shows any price increases in the last few weeks. Often thiscondition happens in markets where demand has fallen (for example, due to micro-location variables) but supply is stillrelatively short. Buyers are focusing on the lowest price homes in the area.

Price per Square FootThe market plateau is seen across the price and value. The price per square foot and median list price have both beenreasonably stagnant. Watch the Market Action Index for persistent changes as a leading indicator before the market moves fromthese levels.


Inventory of Properties Listed for SaleInventory has been falling in recent weeks. Note that declining inventory alone does not signal a strengthening market. Look tothe Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is changing with the available supply.

Market Action IndexThe SOUTHLAKE market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action Indexstands at 13.28. With several months of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice.

Buyers/Sellers Cutoff90-day Average

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 characterizedby analyzing those factors. Watch this index for sustained changes: if the index falls into the Buyer’sAdvantage 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 functionof the current rate of sale versus current inventory.

Days on MarketThe properties have been on the market for an average of 185 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in thepast 98 or so days.


Days on Market per QuartileIt is not uncommon for the higher priced homes in an area to take longer to sell than those in the lower quartiles.
