Twin Cities Market Conditions and MAAR Membership

MembershipMarketActivity_BlogPost


Although we always knew that membership was a trailing indicator of market activity, this chart illustrates that there is a far greater correlation than we first suspected. The seasonality effect in home prices is also mirrored in the membership numbers with surges in the warmer months and decreases in the colder months. Buyer activity—as measured by the closed sales trendline—seems to have peaked about two years before prices did. The first tax credit could have slowed the decline in member numbers as prices received a boost in Summer of 2009, although that could be purely coincidental.
