Median Price
The market seems to have paused around this plateau. The Market Action Index is a good leading indicator for the durability of
this trend.

7-day Average 90-day Average

Quartile Prices
Most of the market segments are showing price weakness lately. Notice however, that Quartile 4 at the low-end of the market is
still on an up-trend. Often this condition happens in markets where demand has fallen (for example, due to micro-location
variables) but supply is still relatively short. Buyers are focusing on the lowest price homes in the area.

Price per Square Foot

The market plateau is seen across the price and value. The price per square foot and median list price have both been
reasonably stagnant. Watch the Market Action Index for persistent changes as a leading indicator before the market moves from
these levels.

7-day Average 90-day Average

Inventory of Properties Listed for Sale

Inventory has been climbing lately. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the Market
Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is keeping up with available supply.

Market Action Index

The BEVERLY HILLS market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action Index
stands at 15.13. 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
changes.

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 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 balance between supply and demand using a statistical function
of the current rate of sale versus current inventory.
