The market has been cooling over time and prices plateaued for a while. Despite the consistent decrease in MAI, we’re in the Seller’s zone. Watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes its climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.


Corona Del Mar, CA Market Update

The Market Action Index has been trending lower for several weeks while prices have remained relatively stable. If inventory continues to grow relative to demand however, it is likely that we will see downward pressure on pricing.

The market has been cooling over time and prices have recently flattened. Despite the consistent decrease in Market Action Index (MAI), we’re in a Seller’s Market (where significant demand leaves little inventory available). If the MAI begins to climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.


Dana Point, CA Market Update
Median List Price: $3,500,000
Market Action Index (MAI): 34 – Slight Seller’s Advantage
Inventory: 61

 

 

 

 

This week the median list price for Dana Point, CA is $3,500,000 with the market action index hovering around 34. This is an increase over last month's market action index of 33. Inventory has held steady at or around 61. Click here to stay informed with the Dana Point market!

In the last few weeks, the Market Action Index has resumed a climb. Despite the fact that we’re in a Seller’s market, prices have not yet resumed upward momentum. However, it is likely that given these conditions, prices will at least level off very soon. If the increasing trend continues, expect that prices could shift higher quickly.


San Juan Capistrano, CA Market Update
Median List Price: $2,770,000
Market Action Index (MAI): 39 – Slight Seller’s Advantage
Inventory: 61

In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI. If the market heats up, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.
