Economists' note : ClosedSalesareoneofthesimplest—yetmost important—indicatorsfortheresidentialrealestatemarket.

Economists' note: Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we recommend comparing the percent changes in sales rather than the number of sales. Closed Sales (and many other market metrics) are affected by seasonal cycles, so actual trends are more accurately representedbyyear-over-yearchanges(i.e.comparingamonth'ssales totheamountofsalesinthesamemonthinthepreviousyear),rather thanchangesfromonemonthtothenext.

Economists' note: New Listings tend to rise in delayed response to increasing prices, so they are often seen as a lagging indicator of market health. As prices rise, potential sellers raise their estimations of value—and in the most recent cycle, rising prices have freed up many potential sellers who were previously underwater on their mortgages. Note that in our calculations, we take care to not include propertiesthatwererecentlytakenoffthemarketandquicklyrelisted, sincethesearenotreally new listings.
