The value placed on homes continues to increase, despite the fact that prices in general have been basically flat recently.
These conditions can arise when inventory is light and more, smaller homes have more influence on overall prices.

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

Market Action Index
The MISSOULA market is currently quite strongly in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action Index
stands at 17.19. With several months of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice.
90-day Average Buyers/Sellers Cutoff
Market Action Index per Quartile
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.
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 characterized
by analyzing those factors. Watch this index for sustained changes: if the index falls into the Buyer’s
Advantage zone (below 30) for a long period, prices are likely in for a downward correction.
