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 20-week trajectory of days on market for each quartile.

“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.”

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 Vancouver median can’t catch. For a read on a specific neighborhood or property, let’s talk. No obligation, no pitch.
