Supply and Demand
Altos Research Value Statistics
The Market Action Index has been
trending lower for several weeks
while prices have remained
relatively stable. If inventory
continues to grow relative to
demand however, it is likely that we
will see downward pressure on
pricing.
Market Action Index
Buyer's Advantage
28.0
≠≠
The Market Action Index answers the question "How's the Market?" by measuring
the current rate of sale versus the amount of the inventory. Index above 30
implies a seller's advantage. Below 30, conditions give the advantage to the
buyer.

Median Price
Despite this week's down tic, the market seems to have paused around this plateau. The Market Action Index is a good leading
indicator for the durability of this shift.
7-day Average
90-day Average
Quartile Prices
Prices have been mixed-to-negative trends in recent weeks. Quartile 4 is down, while the rest of the market is basically flat.

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 CASTAIC market is currently in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30), though not strongly so. The 90-day Market Action
Index stands this week at 27.96 so buyers should expect to find reasonable levels of selection.
90-day Average
Buyers/Sellers Cutoff
Market Action Index per Quartile
The higher end of the market (Quartiles 1 and 2) is in the Buyer's Market zone with several months of inventory given the
current rate of demand for homes in the quartile. The low-end of the market is where buyers are focusing more of their
attention. Notice that Quartiles 1 and 2 (the higher half of the market) have a Market Action Index below 30 (Buyer's Market).

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.
