HomeGain, an online real estate company, has devised its own index of the market. It has been tracking the number of home buyers and sellers nationwide who "filed profiles" - indicating that they are prepared to initiate sales or purchases. Using its filing average for the 10 weeks before Sept. 11 as its benchmark, the company recorded a drop of 56 percent in the three days after the attacks. But filers have rebounded.
