The HousingIQ/Kentucky REALTORS® Confidence Index is a
composite measure that captures Kentucky REALTOR® expectations about the housing market over the next twelve months. It
is derived from three sub-indices – Price Expectation Index, Buyer
Power Index, and Homeowner Stress Index. A value of 50 corresponds to respondents anticipating no change in market conditions over the next twelve months. A value of 100 corresponds to all respondents agreeing that market conditions will improve.
The Price Expectation Index reflects respondents’ perception of future home price trends. The Buyer Power Index gauges the balance of bargaining power between buyers and sellers. Derived from questions
that measure the anticipated change in distressed sales,
delinquencies, etc., the Homeowner Stress index measures the
the unfavorable financial situation of homeowners.
