falling. Should the sales trend continue, expect prices to level off = Slight upward trend ≠ Slight downward trend

continue to pull back from the market's highs. The Market Action
Index is a good leading indicator for the durability of this trend.

Price Trends

7-Day Rolling Average 90-Day Rolling Average Buyer/Seller Cutoff

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 Seller's
Market conditions. Below 30, conditions favor the buyer.
