In terms of movement,
the market should be judged as moving toward
the seller. Key measures are no longer
declining and have begun to increase. The level of
sale pending is showing good increases.
Distribution of Supply/Demand table is tightening.
Price, however, plunged in the month of February.
As in any market, prices may fall then rally and
recover. Current indicators support the notion of a
price rally and stabilization in the range $200,000
and $220,000 in the short run with a probability of
about 60%. Median price declines below $200,000
appear to be possible, but not probable in the short
run.
The reader should note
that Percent Selling (Market Efficiency) has
stabilized and has begun to increase. This is a
signal the market has bottomed in terms of demand
and is now on the rebound. Percent Selling should
begin to increase slowly as a result of the more
competitive price schedule offered by sellers and
the favorable market cycle (spring). These are the
first tentative steps to market recovery from the
seller perspective.
