Altos Research Value StatisticsMarket Action Index Strong Sellers 74.1
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.
The market has started cooling andprices have been flat for severalweeks. Since we're in the Seller'szone, watch for changes in MAI. Ifthe MAI resumes it's climb, priceswill likely follow suit. If the MAIdrops consistently or falls into theBuyer's zone, watch for downwardpressure on prices.

Characteristics per Quartile
The market has been on a downward trend recently and this week, while essentially flat, doesn't break us out of that cycle.
Median Price
Prices have generally settled at a plateau, although Quartile 1 has been trending a bit downward 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.

Despite recently falling prices, the price per square foot has stayed reasonably flat. This implies that there's a portion of the market being priced at a premium. You can investigate this condition in the quartile details.
Price per Square Foot
Inventory has been falling in recent weeks. Note that declining inventory alone does not signal a strengthening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is changing with the available supply.

The Redwood City market is currently quite strongly in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 74.14; indicating very little supply relative to the demand.
Market Action Index
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.
Market Action Index per Quartile
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.

The properties have been on the market for an average of 32 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 14 or so days.
Days on Market
It is not uncommon for the higher priced homes in an area to take longer to sell than those in the lower quartiles.
