Quartile Prices
Prices in most of the market have been showing strength. Only Quartile 4 at the low end of the market is in a price decline. Watch the Market Action Index to determine whether demand in Quartile 4 will begin to reverse the trend and push prices higher here too.

Price per Square Foot

The value placed on homes continues to increase, despite the fact that prices in general have been basically flat recently. These conditions can arise when inventory is light and more, smaller homes have more influence on overall prices.

The UNION CITY market is currently quite strongly in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 71.31; indicating very little supply relative to the demand.

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.
