How We Calculate Sell Timing Signals

This tool analyzes five dimensions of the Colorado Springs housing market from a seller's perspective: price direction (are prices protecting or eroding your equity?), interest rate outlook (is the buyer pool growing or shrinking?), inventory levels (how much competition from other sellers?), affordability (can buyers sustain current prices?), and seasonal patterns (is this historically a good month to list?).

Each signal is scored independently, then combined into an overall lean. The tool updates daily using live data from the Pikes Peak MLS, so signals shift as market conditions change.
