Based just on demand and supply market information? Prob not so simple.

So what are the other factors that play a hand in these numbers?

According to Rapaport, it’s done by continuously polling a group of sellers and asking how much they are charging for various things. Who these sellers are, how their opinions are weighted and how these are translated into the numbers on the grids are all trade secrets.
