Mass Realtors say index is on the rise The Massachusetts Association of REALTORS (MAR) announced last week that for the first time since MAR started collecting survey data in January 2008, the REALTOR Market Index is on the positive side of the 100-point scale for April. For the third straight month, REALTORS are optimistic on price as the REALTOR Price Index also continues to be in positive territory. “With nine straight months of annual sales increases, REALTORS have reason to be optimistic and it shows with the latest results of REALTOR® Market Index,” said 2010 MAR President Kevin Sears, broker/co-owner of Sears Real W O R C E S T E R M A G . C O M • M AY 2 0 , 2 0 1 0
Estate in Springfield. “Even with the homebuyer tax credit expiring at the end of April, members feel prices will continue to move up.” In April 2010, the REALTOR Market Index was 51.76 or 86 percent higher than the 27.82 score recorded in April 2009. On a monthto-month basis, the April 2010 RMI was up 29.41 percent from the March 2010 score of 40.00. Measured on a 100-point scale, a score of 50 is the midpoint between a “strong” (100 points) and a “weak” (0 points) market condition. The REALTOR Price Index was up 37.55 percent in April 2010 compared to the same time last year (40.41 in 2009 to 55.59 in 2010). On
a month-to-month basis the April index number was up 4.59 percent from the Home Sales Price Index number in March 2010 (53.15). When REALTOR members were asked if they were aware of the new federal program titled the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative, 72 percent responded that they were. Of those REALTORS who responded that they were aware of the program, 34 percent thought the program would be either successful or very successful, 46 percent thought there would be no change. Nineteen percent of those responding thought the program would be either unsuccessful, very
unsuccessful or were unaware of the program. To calculate RMI, respondents indicate whether conditions are, or are expected to be “strong” (100 points), “moderate” (50 points), and “weak” (0 points). The results are the average score for each question. A score of 50 is the threshold between a “strong” and a “weak” condition. Similarly, the question about home prices over the next year (REALTOR Price Index) is calculated using five categories: “Rise 0-5%” (75 points), “Rise 5%+” (100 points), “Level” (50 points), “Fall 0-5%” (25 points), and “Fall >5%” (0 points).
