This monthly survey drives the Burns Resale Housing Market Index

Compare regions and track resale performance by market, using regional graphs and our analysis.

Pinpoint emerging resale trends and track them over time. Candid agent feedback identifies shifting market dynamics, often before they appear in quantitative metrics.

Questions of the month reveal market conditions, such as buyer and seller behavior, days on market, and mortgage rate impacts on buyers’ purchase criteria.

All of our surveys are delivered via email with a short summary, and are posted in our client portal for easy access. Every month, here’s what you can expect in the Real Estate Agent Survey:

Burns Resale Housing Market Index

Three subindices generate the overarching Burns Resale Housing Market Index. They measure current and expected sales compared to seasonal norms as well as demand and supply conditions.

Current and Expected Resale Sales

Expected sales feedback reveals where the market is headed. Learn agents’ take on current sales versus seasonal norms and track their sentiment over time.

Resale Pricing Trends

Graphs and analysis identify trends in resale home prices, using a directional measure that is sensitive to changing market conditions, plus trends in multiple offers and cash purchases.

Demand/Supply Environment

The first-of-its-kind demand/supply index reflects agents’ observations of a balanced or unbalanced market, which may have excess supply or demand.

Questions of the Month

Real estate agents share the inside scoop on local market conditions including why their business is thriving or why it is not. Questions change monthly to answer today’s biggest queries, including buyer migration, days on market, price cuts, and all cash purchases.
