The median list price for a single family home in the city of Moorpark, Ca this week of September 9th 2013 is $649,000.00  Inventory has been decreasing lately but the Market Action Index is falling also. With days-on-market climbing, these are relatively negative implications for the market. Supply and Demand: The market continues to get hotter.  More sales demand and fewer homes listed have contributed to a relatively long run of increasing prices.  Current supply and demand levels show no signs of prices changing from their current trend.

Below is the illustration of the Moorpark Real Estate Market Report for February, 2013. February, 2013 shows that the Moorpark Single Family Home average sold price has appreciated 7% since last year and the median price rose 8% for the same time period. In fact, looking at the illustration below, one can see the average sales price and the median sale price did better in February, 2013 than they did for the years 2010 & 2011.
