Market Action Index (MAI)
Comparison rate of sales versus inventory

In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI. If the market heats up, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.

In this video, I'll be breaking down the latest update, particularly focusing on the game-changing AB12 law, which significantly impacts security deposits.
