Market Narrative
In the last few weeks, the Market Action Index has resumed a climb. Despite the fact that we’re in a Seller’s market, prices have not yet resumed upward momentum. However, it is likely that given these conditions, prices will at least level off very soon. If the increasing trend continues, expect that prices could shift higher quickly.
