What's the blue band on MSI charts?

When you're using Market Review, you may notice a blue band on the Months Supply of Inventory (MSI) sparkline.  That blue band represents the NAR definition of a balanced Market, which is between 5 and 7 months' supply of inventory.

That same blue band can appear in Market Insights, but it's more obvious since the blue band itself is labeled.

Note that we calculate MSI differently than NAR as well.
