The Marta Walsh Index: Normal — week ending Aug 28, 2026
Inside the wide normal band, where history says the asking price — not the market — determines whether a home sells.
A quiet week: up 0.9 to 110.3, well inside the range where the asking price, not the market, decides outcomes. Off-market, 1,215 homes sit dark after failed campaigns — history expects roughly 195 back on the shelf within 13 weeks.
