The Marta Walsh Index: Normal — week ending Sep 4, 2026
Inside the wide normal band, where history says the asking price — not the market — determines whether a home sells.
At 112.8, this is the firmest weekly reading since October 2023. The rise is now 3 weeks long. Streaks like this describe the season more often than they change a launch’s odds.
