City Overview NEWPORT BEACH

Inventory has been lightening lately and the Market Action Index has been trending up. These are mildly positive indications for the market. To get a tightly targeted understanding of homes in the market, we break each locale into quartiles. Each quartile is 25% of the homes listed.

PRICE

The market seems to have paused around this plateau. The Market Action Index for Newport Beach realty is a good leading indicator for the durability of this trend.

 

QUARTILE PRICES

Price weakness is evident almost across the board. Quartiles 2, 3, and 4 have been in price decline in recent weeks, with Quartile 1 remaining basically flat. Look to the

Market Action Index as a leading indicator of the bottom of the market. Often, we find insights by watching pricing trends within the quartile segments.

2media Info Market Update for NEWPORT BEACH Homes for sale 2Media Info | http://www.2mediainfo.com

We’re seeing fairly unusual market conditions as prices have been in a downward trend but price per square foot is actually increasing. (Buyers are paying less and getting less home for their money.) Anomalies like these can be attributed to micro-location variables.

 

PRICE AND VALUE

INVENTORY

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.

2media Info Market Update for NEWPORT BEACH 42Media Info | http://www.2mediainfo.com

The NEWPORT BEACH market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer’s Market zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 15. With several months of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice. Home sales have been exceeding

new inventory for several weeks. However because of excess inventory, prices have not yet

stopped falling. Should the sales trend continue, expect prices to level off soon and potentially to resume their climb from there. Watch prices as the market transitions from a Buyer’s market

to a Seller’s market.

The Market Action Index (MAI) illustrates the balance between supply and demand

using a statistical function of the current rate of sale versus current inventory.

An MAI value greater than 30 typically indicates a “Seller’s Market” (a.k.a. “Hot

Market”) because demand is high enough to quickly gobble up available supply. A

hot market will typically cause prices to rise. MAI values below 30 indicate a

“Buyer’s Market” (a.k.a. “Cold Market”) where the inventory of already-listed homes

is sufficient to last several months at the current rate of sales. A cold market will

typically cause prices to fall.

Residential house prices are a function of supply and demand, and market MARKET ACTION INDEX

conditions can be characterized by analyzing those factors. Watch this index for

sustained changes: if the index falls into the Buyer’s Market zone for a long period,

prices are likely in for a downward correction.

Not surprisingly given the overall Market Action Index, all quartiles are in the Buyer’s Market zone with several months of inventory given the current rate of demand for homes in the quartile. Watch the quartile for changes before the overall market shifts. Often one end of the market (e.g. the low end) will improve and signal a strengthening market before the whole group

changes.

The quartiles can help you answer the question, “How hot is the market for homes

in my price range?”

Inventory has been tightening and days-on-market increasing recently. The Market Action Index

has been basically flat, not providing strong indication for market conditions.

 

PRICE

Again this week in this zip code we see a downward notch for prices. Pricing has been weak in recent weeks and versus their absolute high level. At this point, we will be looking for a persistent upward shift in the Market Action Index as a leading indicator for a trough in prices.

PRICE PER QUARTILE

In the quartile market segments, we see the market’s price weakness almost across the board. Prices in Quartile 4 have been mixed recently, while the rest of the market is trending downward. Look for a strong, persistent up shift in the Market Action Index as a leading indicator of the trough in the market. 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.

Inventory has been climbing lately with 187 properties available this week. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the Market Action Index to gauge whether buyer interest is keeping up with available supply. The NEWPORT BEACH 92660 is

quite strongly in the Buyer’s Market zone. The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 12. With

several months of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice.

INVENTORY

Inventory has been relatively steady around these levels in recent weeks.

2media Info Market Update for CORONA DEL MAR 42Media Info | http://www.2mediainfo.com

The CORONA DEL MAR market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer’s Market zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 13. With several months

of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice.

Home sales have been exceeding new inventory for several weeks. However because of excess inventory, prices have not yet stopped falling. Should the sales trend continue, expect prices to level off soon and potentially to resume their climb from there. Watch prices as the market transitions from a Buyer’s market to a Seller’s market.

The Market Action Index (MAI) illustrates the balance between supply and demand

using a statistical function of the current rate of sale versus current inventory.

An MAI value greater than 30 typically indicates a “Seller’s Market” (a.k.a. “Hot

Market”) because demand is high enough to quickly gobble up available supply. A

hot market will typically cause prices to rise. MAI values below 30 indicate a

“Buyer’s Market” (a.k.a. “Cold Market”) where the inventory of already-listed homes

is sufficient to last several months at the current rate of sales. A cold market will

typically cause prices to fall.

of the market (e.g. the low end) will improve and signal a strengthening market before the whole group changes.

DAYS ON MARKET (DOM)

The properties have been on the market for an average of 156 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 126 or so days.

DOM PER QUARTILE

It is not uncommon for the higher priced homes in an area to take longer to sell than those in the

lower quartiles.
