The four markets
Altos splits each zip into four price-band segments. The bottom and top quartiles behave like different markets entirely — different buyers, different time-on-market, different absorption. Sparklines in the DOM column show the 12-week trajectory of days on market for each quartile.

“The market has been cooling off a bit in recent weeks, as more homes are available and demand is less. We’re already seeing prices move lower as a result, though the market is still in the Seller’s zone. Expect this trend to continue especially if the index falls to the Buyer’s zone. Watch for a persistent up-turn in Market Action to signal prices rising again.”

Zip codes are averages. Your street isn’t.
This data is a real signal — it’s why we publish it. But real estate stays stubbornly hyper-local: a school boundary, one busy road, a single new listing can move a block in ways the La Center median can’t catch. For a read on a specific neighborhood or property, let’s talk. No obligation, no pitch.
