Slight Seller's Advantage
Market Narrative
The market has been cooling off a bit in recent weeks, as more homes are available and demand is less. However, the market is still notably in the Seller’s zone so we haven’t yet seen prices move lower as a result. It may take a few more weeks of slack demand for prices to reflect and begin to fall. Expect this condition if the index falls to the Buyer’s zone.

While this week the median didn’t fluctuate much, prices continue to sit at all time highs. A persistent drop of the Market Action Index into the Buyer’s zone will be a leading indicator of the price strength subsiding.
