Quartile Prices
While prices in the upper half of the market has shown essentially mixed pricing lately, the lower half of the market is trending
lower. Quartiles 3 and 4 have been in price decline in recent weeks, with Quartiles 1 and 2 remaining basically flat. Look to the

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 micro-
location variables.

Market Action Index

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

90-day Average Buyers/Sellers Cutoff

Market Action Index per Quartile

Not surprisingly given the overall Market Action Index, all quartiles are in the Buyer's Market zone with several months of
inventory given the current rate of demand for homes in the quartile. Watch the quartile for changes before the overall market
shifts. Often one end of the market (e.g. the low end) will improve and signal a strengthening market before 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 Buyer’s Advantage
zone (below 30) for a long period, prices are likely in for a downward correction.

The Market Action Index (MAI) illustrates a blance between supply and demand using a statistical function of the
current rate of sale versus current inventory.
