Median Price
Price trends continued their recent uptrend this week. While still below the market's high point, we may be seeing the start of a
good price stretch here.

7-day Average 90-day Average

Quartile Prices
Prices have settled at a price plateau across the board. Prices in all four quartiles are basically mixed. Look for a persistent shift
(up or down) in the Market Action Index before prices move from these current levels.

Price per Square Foot

This is a market where watching the value metrics (like price per square foot) can provide insight that you don't get at first
glance. Home prices are rising a bit recently and the price per square foot of homes listed is declining a bit. Often this can be
attributed to new and remodeled homes on the market. Buyers in the area are paying more but also getting more for their
money.

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.

Market Action Index

The RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA market is currently quite strongly in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day
Market Action Index stands at 57.86; indicating very little supply relative to the demand.

90-day Average 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.

First/Top Second/Upper Third/Lower Fourth/Bottom

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.
