    Quartile PricesIn the quartile market segments, we see prices in this zip code without strong directional trend lately. Prices in Quartiles 1 and4 have been mixed in recent weeks, while Quartile 3 is down and Quartile 2 is up. Look to the Market Action Index to determinewhen we may see a shift in prices from these current levels.

    Price per Square FootDespite recently falling prices, the price per square foot has stayed reasonably flat. This implies that there's a portion of themarket being priced at a premium. You can investigate this condition in the quartile details.

    90-day Average7-day Average

    Inventory of Properties Listed for SaleInventory has been climbing lately. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the MarketAction Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is keeping up with available supply.

    Market Action IndexThe LA JOLLA, 92037 market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30). The 90-day Market ActionIndex stands at 11.67. With several months of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice.

    Buyers/Sellers Cutoff90-day Average

    Market Action Index per QuartileNot surprisingly, all quartiles are in the Buyer's Market zone with several months of inventory given the current levels ofdemand. Watch the quartiles for changes before the overall market shifts.

    First/Top Second/Upper Third/Lower Fourth/Bottom

    Buyers/Sellers Cutoff

    Residential house prices are a function of supply and demand, and market conditions can be characterizedby analyzing those factors. Watch this index for sustained changes: if the index falls into the BuyersAdvantage 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 functionof the current rate of sale versus current inventory.
