A Few Terms, Defined
IVDays to Offer
Days from listing until a written offer is accepted by the seller. The most direct measure of how quickly properties are moving in the market.
Days on Market (DOM)
Days from listing until the full purchase and sale (P&S) contract is signed. Includes the time between offer acceptance and final contract negotiation, so it lags behind Days to Offer.
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.
