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 a seller's advantage. Below 30, conditions give the advantage to the buyer.
The median list price in Burlington, MA this week is $519,900. The 47 properties have been on the market for an average of 47 days.
The Market Action Index has been trending down lately, while inventory and days-on-market are climbing. The trends imply a weakening market.
The market has been cooling off a bit in recent weeks, as more homes are available and demand is less. We're already seeing prices move lower as a result, though the market is still in the Seller's zone. Expect this trend to continue especially if the index falls to the Buyer's zone. Watch for a persistent up-turn in Market Action to signal prices rising again.
Median Price: The market has been on a downward trend recently and this week, while essentially flat, doesn't break us out of that cycle.
Price per Square Foot: Despite recently falling prices, the price per square foot has stayed reasonably flat. This implies that there's a portion of the market being priced at a premium. You can investigate this condition in the quartile details.
Market Action Index: The BURLINGTON market is currently quite strongly in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 52.19; indicating very little supply relative to the demand.
Days on Market: The properties have been on the market for an average of 47 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 28 or so days.
