In our detailed research we also like to break the market into quartiles, so you can watch the trends at the high end of the market and compare them to the low end of the market. Demand in different price points may be trending very differently. It's always important to look under the covers. I did a post today on San Jose for example. http://www.altosresearch.com/blog/archives/297-San-Jose-Housing-Market-starts-2008-with-twice-the-inventory-of-2007.html Let me know if you want more details on the quartiles or digging further into the Altos data.
