Asking Price Per Square Foot Average Days on Market (DoM) Inventory of Properties Listed Most Expensive Listing

Inventory has been lightening lately and the Market Action Index has been trending up. Though days-on-market is increasing, these are mildly positive indications for the market.

Supply and Demand

The market has been cooling off a bit in recent weeks, as more homes are available and demand is less. We're already seeing prices move lower as a result. Expect this trend to continue expecially if the index falls to the Buyer's zone. Watch for a persistent up-turn in Market Action to signal prices rising again.

Median Price
Prices seem to have plateaued here at the all time high. When we see these conditions, we pay close attention to the Market Action Index to gauge the leading indicators and whether prices will fall from here.

90-day Average

Quartile Prices
While prices at the lower end of the market has been in a down-trend lately, the upper half of the market has not. Quartile 1 has been trending up recently, but unless we see a persistent up-shift in the Market Action Index, it will likely resume the trend of the rest of the market.

Price per Square Foot

We're seeing fairly unusual market conditions as prices have been in a downward trend but price per square foot is actually increasing. (Buyers are paying less and getting less home for their money.) Anomalies like these can be attributed to microlocation variables.

7-day Average

90-day Average

Inventory of Properties Listed for Sale

Inventory has been falling in recent weeks. Note that declining inventory alone does not signal a strengthening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is changing with the available supply.

The HAYWARD market is currently quite strongly in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 58.92; indicating very little supply relative to the demand.

Buyers/Sellers Cutoff

Market Action Index per Quartile

Not surprisingly, all segments in the market are showing high levels of demand. Watch the quartiles for changes before the whole market changes. Often one end of the market (e.g. the high-end) will weaken before the rest of the market and signal a slowdown for the whole group.

Buyers/Sellers Cutoff
Residential house prices are a function of supply and demand, and market conditions can be characterized by analyzing those factors. Watch this index for sustained changes: if the index falls into the Buyers Advantage zone (below 30) for a long period, prices are likely in for a downward correction.
