Supply and Demand
Local conditions are currently quite strongly in the Buyer’s Market zone (below 30). The 90-day Market
Action Index stands at 15. With several months of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice. The Market Action Index answers the question “How’s the market?” by measuring the current rate of sale versus the amount of the inventory. Index above 30 implies Seller’s market conditions. Below 30, conditions favor the buyer.
