˅
Price Spike

Median prices have risen unusually fast over the latest rolling 12-month period, which may indicate intense local demand or constrained supply.

Price Collapse

Median prices have fallen sharply over the latest rolling 12-month period, which can point to weakening demand, repricing, or distressed local conditions.

Transaction volumes have dropped hard compared with the prior year, suggesting buyers have pulled back or activity has stalled.

Liquidity Stress

Transaction volumes have fallen sharply while prices continue rising, suggesting weakening market liquidity.

Liquidity Surge

Momentum Reversal

Earlier strong price growth has turned into decline, which can signal that local market momentum is rolling over.
