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.
Resale Agent Commentary
Agents dish on what’s working, what’s not, and what golden insight their buyer/seller client just confided in them. Be the first to learn about emerging trends, often before they appear in the data.
