One Step From Buy in Lake Macquarie

A suburb reads BUY once its composite score reaches 65, and keeps reading BUY until it falls below 60. These sit in the gap: already past the level that would hold a BUY, not yet at the level that starts one, with three of four indicators agreeing and approvals or venue activity already moving.

Inside the band

4 of 93 suburbs, against 20 currently reading buy. Ordered by how little is left to climb.

What this list is not

It is not a prediction. A score inside the band can fall back out of it as easily as it can climb through, and nothing here says which way a given suburb goes next. What the list does say is that these are the suburbs where the least has to change for the signal to turn, measured the same way every time the data updates.

No. It means the score is inside the band between the level that holds an existing buy signal and the level that starts a new one. A score can fall back out of that band as easily as it can climb through it. The list is recalculated every time the data updates, and it is a description of where a suburb sits today, not a forecast of where it goes next.
