Supply and Demand

The market has not shown strong directional trends in terms of supply and demand. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller's Market zone and prices have been moving upward as evidence.

Median Price
Prices continue their climb again this week. We're a long way from the market's price high-point so watch the Market Action Index as an indicator of how long this trend will last.

Quartile Prices
Prices have generally settled at a plateau, although Quartile 2 is on a bit of an up trend in recent weeks. We'll need to see a persistent shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices across the board move from these levels.

Price per Square Foot

In a market where prices are rising fairly consistently, price per square foot is essentially flat. This often implies that new homes coming on the market are pricier, and also larger than older homes. As a result the value one can buy stays the same.

Market Action Index

The HAYWARD market is currently quite strongly in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 62.06; indicating very little supply relative to the demand.

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.

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.
