Wise Market Intelligence System™
Emerson Real Estate’s proprietary read of Sacramento Metro housing from Metrolist data across 3 counties and 52 zip codes. Not a prediction and not legal advice.
Median Price
Closed median sale price from Metrolist. Distressed sales excluded. A price level, not a buyer/seller stance gauge.
Median Price 12-MMA
12-month moving average of median price. Smooths one-month noise so Divergence and Momentum have a baseline. A price level, not a stance gauge.
Median Price Divergence™
Median minus 12-MMA, in dollars. Positive favors Sellers, zero is Neutral, negative favors Buyers. The ▲/▼ count is consecutive months on that side of the 12-MMA.
Median Price Momentum™
Direction and force of the 12-MMA change (Þ). Positive favors Sellers, zero Neutral, negative Buyers. UP/DN is the latest monthly move of Þ, not the sign of Þ itself.
Months of Inventory
How long the active listing stock would last at the current sales pace. Under 4 favors Sellers, 4–6 Neutral, over 6 favors Buyers.
Sweat Index™
Emerson supply/demand stress index. Positive favors Sellers, zero Neutral, negative favors Buyers.
Market Activity Index™
Activity vs a 50 baseline. Above 50 favors Sellers, 50 Neutral, below 50 favors Buyers.
Lean Score™
Composite Lean Score. Positive favors Sellers, zero is Neutral, negative favors Buyers. Defined at zip, county, and composite average.
Housing Appetite™
Pended listings divided by new listings. Above 50% favors Sellers, 50% Neutral, below 50% favors Buyers.
Lean · New
Lean Score™ element for new listings vs their seasonal baseline. Positive = Seller Lean; negative = Buyer Lean.
Lean · Pended
Lean Score™ element for pended (under-contract) listings vs baseline. Positive = Seller Lean; negative = Buyer Lean.
Lean · Canc
Lean Score™ element for cancelled/expired listings vs baseline. Positive = Seller Lean; negative = Buyer Lean.
Lean · Sold
Lean Score™ element for closed sales vs baseline. Positive = Seller Lean; negative = Buyer Lean.
Lean · #Offs
Lean Score™ element for offer count vs baseline. Positive = Seller Lean; negative = Buyer Lean.
Lean · Active
Lean Score™ element for active inventory vs baseline. Positive = Seller Lean; negative = Buyer Lean.
Lean · CDOM
Lean Score™ element for cumulative days on market vs baseline. Positive = Seller Lean; negative = Buyer Lean.
Composite Average
Equal-weight average of the 52 tracked zip codes (not a sales-weighted metro median). Used as the baseline row in every geography report.
Favoring
Which side of the market that metric currently supports: SELLERS (green), BUYERS (red), or NEUTRAL. Median and 12-MMA are price levels and do not favor a side.
Gauge
The decision rule for that metric’s Favoring call. Same rule at zip, county, and composite.
30-year mortgage rate
Average 30-year fixed contract rate. Cost of money. Higher rates typically cool buyer demand and stretch affordability.
Consumer Confidence Index
Conference Board household-outlook index. Rising confidence supports housing demand; falling confidence weighs on it.
Consumer Sentiment
University of Michigan consumer sentiment. A second household-mood series used with CCI, not a local MLS metric.
Housing Market Index
NAHB builder sentiment (present sales, traffic, future sales). Leading read on new-home supply appetite.
New home permits
Building permits authorized. Leading indicator of future new-home supply, lagged before closings.
Sacramento–Roseville total employment
BLS total nonfarm jobs, Sacramento-Roseville MSA, in thousands. Local jobs support housing demand.
Private employment
Private-sector jobs in the Sacramento-Roseville MSA, thousands. Strips out government payroll.
Government employment
Government jobs in the Sacramento-Roseville MSA, thousands. A large local payroll share.
Single-family starts
Single-family housing starts. New construction pace feeding future inventory.
Consumer spending
Consumer spending series used as a major-force input alongside local MLS composites.
New homes
New-home count in the major-forces sheet. Thin local new-home activity vs resale stock.
Nonfarm payrolls
National nonfarm payroll change (thousands). Macro jobs pulse; not a Sacramento MLS print.
NFP revision
Revision to prior nonfarm payrolls. Large negative revisions mean the first print overstated jobs.

Metrolist (distressed sales excluded from housing composites). Figures compiled from Metrolist for Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado counties (52 tracked zip codes). Not a prediction and not legal advice. Jay Emerson, Broker — Cal DRE# 01788488.
