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 IndexThe BOULDER market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action Indexstands at 18.77. 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

First/Top Second/Upper Third/Lower Fourth/Bottom

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 Buyer’s 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.

Quartile PricesIn the quartile market segments, we see pricing across most of this zip code relatively strong recently. While Quartile 2 isbasically flat, all other segments are in an up trend period.

Quartile PricesIn the quartile market segments, we see most of this zip code is showing price weakness lately. Notice however, that Quartile 4at the low-end of the market is still on an up-trend. Often this condition happens in markets where demand has fallen (forexample, due to micro-location variables) but supply is still relatively short. Buyers are focusing on the lowest price homes inthe area.

Price per Square FootThe market's downward trends are shared across both price and value. People are recently placing less value on homes (you cansee the recent declines in price per square foot as evidence.) Look for significant changes in the Market Action Index as aprecursor to price and value changes, possibly as inflection points for good investment opportunities.

Median PriceThis week prices in this zip code bumped up a bit but the trend of recent weeks is generally downward. A pickup in demand willbe reflected in the Market Action Index, so watch that chart to try to identify a trough in the market.

90-day Average7-day Average

Quartile PricesIn the quartile market segments, we see prices in most of this zip code trending higher in recent weeks. However the upper-middle section of the market (Quartile 2) is showing some weakness lately. Major trend changes typically start from the top orthe bottom of the market, so it is difficult to identify this as a significant indicator. Watch the Market Action Index Quartilebreakdown for Quartiles 1 and 2 for persistent weakness before projecting this narrow downtrend onto the market as a whole.
