What's the pulse of the market ?

[Brit Foshee]

I'm curious what tools/metrics you all are using to determine the overall pulse of the market?

We all now generally, real estate is hot right now, but as my portfolio grows, I'd like to have much tighter handle on what the market is doing.

1)Regionally

2)State Level

3)Nationally

What tools are you using to track these things ? 

Thanks for your input
