According to Holt, these three factors contribute to the strong buyer signal:
1.**Contract Activity and Seasonal Trends**: Holt explains, “Liquidity, a rolling 30-day moving window of contract activity, sits at 549 units as of today, making new lows as we reach the end of September. This is typically the window when the market bottoms and begins to reverse higher with the Fall season. We are waiting for this bottom signal to develop.”

2.**Market Sentiment and Climate Index**: He highlights, “The Climate Index, a new measure of market sentiment that assesses the proportion of listings entering into contracts compared to those being withdrawn from the market., indicates that as the index falls, the listing environment becomes more challenging. We have shifted from a neutral/easy environment to a challenging one over the last several months, and this is not just due to seasonality anymore.”
