More Than Just a Price Trend
Setting seller expectations Percent Price Decreased: “This is what
happens to the over-pricers” DoM: “here’s what we’re looking at…”
Buyer off the fence Inventory: “You’re in the highest-demand
segment” Average vs. Median DoM: the best
properties moving more quickly
Understanding Buyer & Seller “Competition”

Never assume that your clients know the trends.

Market Analysis by Price Level (“Quartile”)

Example: 80 homes for sale in a market (city or zip code) 4 "quartiles" (groups) each have 20 properties
based on individual property prices. Allows for market definition by price, not just
geography
Days-on-Market by “Quartile”
Significantly higher DoM in most expensive price segment compared to middle price segments
Market Activity by “Quartile”:Market Action Index
The bottom 50% of the market has the most activity – Implications for both Sellers AND Buyers?
