The Fluffy Index

The Fluffy Index – Fluffy, the Forecasting Cat can help you find emerging housing markets. Fluffy is not a particularly special cat, it’s any cat put up for adoption at your local humane society.

We are serious. Abandoned animal supply and adoption demand are a precursor to market movement.

More technically Personal Real Estate Investor Magazine, using month Altos Research data, plots market trends by major metro areas, top 20 and mid-market composites. We believe inventory, contraction or expansion, how long it takes to sell, asking prices and the accompanying trend are the best predictors of market behavior. We publish last month’s data within two weeks, change and trends.
