Supply and Demand
Market Action Index
The market has been cooling over time and prices have recently
flattened. Despite the consistent decrease in Market Action Index
(MAI), we're in a Seller's Market (where significant demand leaves
little inventory available). If the MAI begins to climb, prices will
likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the
Buyer's zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.

Market Action Index

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.
