For an explanation about what Market Action Index (MAI) is and who publishes it click to this earlier post. These charts that I prepared for zip code 30028 and 30050cover the area we know as “Dunwoody” and “Sandy Springs”. With the incorporation of Sandy Springs into a city the border of which does bleed into 30027 this index will not be a totally correct one. Refer to 30327 which is primarily Buckhead and is available on that chart.
We will include just these two zipcodes to define Dunwoody and Sandy Springs for monitoring residential real estate trends. Keep in mind that these charts are only referring to the “top tier” properties in the area. That is defined as the top 25% of the market in terms of sales price, since we specialize in distinctive and luxury real estate, that is the sector we monitor. For a more macro view check out this link and if you want to receive a very detailed report weekly on your overall market please fill out the request form and we will make sure you get it in your email every week.
A Market Action Index (MAI) value greater than 30 typically indicates a “Seller’s Market” because demand is high enough to quickly gobble up available supply. A hot market will typically cause prices to rise. MAI values below 30 indicate a “Buyer’s Market” where the inventory of already-listed homes is sufficient to last several months at the current rate of sales.
