City Overview This Week Real-Time Market Profile Trend The median list price in this week is $399,950. The 311 properties have been on the market for an average of 135 days. The Market Action Index has been climbing lately while days-on-market are trending down, these point to a positive near-term outlook for the market. Supply and Demand Home sales have been exceeding new inventory for several weeks. Since this is a Buyer's market prices are not yet moving higher as excess inventory is consumed. However, as the supply and demand trends continue, the market moves into the Seller's zone, and we are likely to see upward pressure on pricing.

City Overview 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. Quartile Prices Prices have settled at a price plateau across the board. Prices in all four quartiles are basically mixed. Look for a persistent shift (up or down) in the Market Action Index before prices move from these current levels. Page 3 of 11
City Overview Price per Square Foot While prices have been basically flat, the price per square foot has been heading downward. While not a sign of broad strength in a market, larger homes are coming more available and buyers are tending to get more home for their money. Inventory of Properties Listed for Sale Inventory has been relatively steady around these levels in recent weeks. Page 4 of 11
City Overview Market Action Index The VALENCIA market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 16.70. With several months of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice. 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. 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. Page 5 of 11
