Median PriceAgain this week we see a downward notch for prices. Pricing has been weak in recent weeks and versus their absolute-highlevels. The Market Action Index is a good leading indicator for the durability of this trend.

Quartile PricesPrices 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.

Market Action IndexThe SAN MARCOS market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action Indexstands at 22.85. With several months of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice.

Market Action Index per QuartileNot surprisingly given the overall Market Action Index, all quartiles are in the Buyer's Market zone with several months ofinventory given the current rate of demand for homes in the quartile. Watch the quartile for changes before the overall marketshifts. Often one end of the market (e.g. the low end) will improve and signal a strengthening market before the whole groupchanges.

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