About This Chart
This index combines the regional household income trends with interest rates and local housing prices and calculates the proportion of local households that can afford the median priced house. From an employer perspective, the lower this index the more challenging it will be to pay employees enough to allow them to secure owner occupied housing.
About This Chart
The Months of Inventory Remaining (MRI) series is calculated by dividing the current number of active listings by the recent monthly average sales rate. It is probably the best single measure of the Supply/Demand balance in a real estate market. The smaller the number of months remaining the stronger the market.

The number of sales is a very reliable indicator with leads of one to two years on both the upside and downside of the real estate cycle.
