This week’s read
98682 reads strong seller's market at MAI 46, and the underlying numbers back the headline. Every quartile absorbed at least 4 homes this period. Median DOM is 35 days zip-wide. The bottom quartile is where demand actually concentrates: $450K homes pulled in 5 new listings and 5 sales in the same period — a 1:1 absorption rate. That ratio is the cleanest signal of buyer competition in the zip this week, and it's happening at the entry-level price band.
Trend charts return once this zip has more than one weekly reading on file.
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.

“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.”
