Ask The Right Questions

Conventional wisdom tells us to always ask “why?” Why do we do it that

Sharran Srivatsaa Chief Executive Officer, Teles Intelligence

way? Why does it work like that? Why should I listen to her? Why are you reminding me to ask why? Why? Generally, when presented with any kind of trend, we have also been taught to think in a similar way and ask why we are seeing that trend? For example, our analysts found a study that discussed the median price of home sales and its upward trend. The report also answered the “why” and did a detailed job of answering why there was an upward trend. For the same period, we also found a study that showed the median price of home sales and a downward trend, and similarly the report accurately analyzed “why” there was a downward trend. We asked “why” and got good answers - but can both reports be correct? Both reports were in fact accurate. We realized quickly that the question we should be asking first, specifically regarding trends, is not “why” but “what”. We are arguing about the value of first asking “what” the trend is really about versus accepting the trend for what it is and only being curious about “why” it is that way.


In the provided, one report found that across the United States, the median price of new home sales showed an upward trend while the other report actually referred to median price of existing home sales drifting downward. Big difference. Now lets ask why. The house price gap between distressed and non-distressed properties continues to widen, especially since distressed sales constitute approximately 30% of home sales. Specifically in California, 35% of homeowners are not only underwater on their mortgage but also near negative equity (those with 5% equity or less). In hindsight, it makes sense. We should first understand what we are looking at and only then try to understand why it is that way. What do you think?

All the Best!

Reading the Report

“Each Micro Market area contains an analysis of current conditions and past trends. In order to take the most away from this report, it is important to understand how to read each micro market.

The Data presents statistical information about past and current conditions, comparing the previous year’s month to the current month. Each statistic is compiled from sales data during the month of the respective year. It is then analyzed by Percent Change, which is calculated by taking Current Value minus Past Value and then divided by Past Value.

The Numbers is a compilation of important take-away statistics for each area to gain a quick understanding of market conditions. Median Sales Price and Days on Market are 12 month averages for the period ending in the current month. The values for Properties for Sale and Shadow Inventory are presented in both text and graphical form to show the relationship of Shadow to Active Inventory.

The Yearly Trend presents the Median Sales Prices for each month during the past year in graphical format to easily visualize the changes and help identify any trends in sales for that micro market.
