Market Action Index
This answers “How’s the Market?” by comparing rate of sales versus inventory.
Strong Seller's Market
Home sales have been exceeding new inventory for several weeks. However prices have not yet stopped falling. Since the market is already in the Seller's zone, expect prices to level off very soon. Should the sales trend continue expect that prices could climb from there.
