Six months is considered a balanced market, while nine months or more is considered an oversupplied market. Figure 8 shows a three-month moving average of the figure going back to 2008. As shown, the MRI figure has remained below the six-month benchmark since 2012. The most recent figure was 3.1 months. FIG 8.
