A Few Terms, Defined
IVDays on Market (DOM)
How many days a property was actively listed before going under contract. Higher numbers mean a slower market.
Days to Offer
How long it took to receive the accepted offer. Shorter than DOM because it excludes negotiation time.
Months of Supply
How long it would take to sell all current inventory at the recent pace of sales. Under 4 months typically favors sellers; over 6 favors buyers.
Absorption Rate
The percentage of available inventory selling each month. Higher percentages mean homes are moving quickly.
Sale Price as % of List
How close final sale prices came to asking prices. Over 100% means homes are routinely selling over asking.
Went Pending
An offer was accepted, but the sale hasn't yet closed. A useful leading indicator of where the market is heading.
