MISSION VIEJO, CA

Median Price
Prices have moved upward in the last few weeks and are nearing the market's all time high. A persistent drop of the Market
Action Index into the Buyer's zone will be a leading indicator of the price strength subsiding.

7-day Average 90-day Average

Quartile Prices
Prices have settled at a price plateau across the board. Prices in all four quartiles are basically mixed. Look for a persistent shift
(up or down) in the Market Action Index before prices move from these current levels.

Price per Square Foot


The price per square foot is increasing fairly consistently recently despite the fact that overall price trends haven't shown a
consistent upwardly push. This can imply that investment conditions are opportunistic. Watch the Remodel Index for a more
detailed analysis of the investment opportunity in the area.

7-day Average 90-day Average

Inventory of Properties Listed for Sale


Inventory has been falling in recent weeks. Note that declining inventory alone does not signal a strengthening market. Look to
the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is changing with the available supply.

Market Action Index


The MISSION VIEJO market is currently quite strongly in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day Market Action
Index stands at 52.91; indicating very little supply relative to the demand.

Market Action Index per Quartile


Not surprisingly, all segments in the market are showing high levels of demand. Watch the quartiles for changes before the
whole market changes. Often one end of the market (e.g. the high-end) will weaken before the rest of the market and signal a
slowdown for the whole group.

Buyers/Sellers Cutoff
Residential house prices are a function of supply and demand, and market conditions can be characterized
by analyzing those factors. Watch this index for sustained changes: if the index falls into the Buyers
Advantage zone (below 30) for a long period, prices are likely in for a downward correction.

Price per Square Foot


In a market where prices are rising some, price per square foot is essentially flat. This often implies that new homes coming on
the market are pricier, and also larger than older homes. As a result the value one can buy stays the same.

Inventory of Properties Listed for Sale


Inventory has been climbing lately. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the Market
