a. Number Active: The number of listings for sale which are currently being marketed but do not yet have a purchase agreement.
b. Days on Market (DOM): The marketing period of currently active listings. This does not account for some listings which have had a previous listing period, but were re-entered as a new listing.
c. Current List Price: The price that a property seller is currently asking.
a. Number Pending: The number of current listings for which a contract has been signed but has not yet closed.
b. Pending Ratio: Sometimes called a “list-to-pending ratio”. This is a measure of how fast properties are going under contract vs. how fast they are being listed.
Pending Ratio = P (Number of Pending Listings)
A+P (Number of Active + Pending)
(P) represents properties that buyers have chosen (A+P) represents the entire pool from which they have chosen
a. Number Off-Market: The number of listing agreements that have failed to close in the last 6 months. Some owners may choose to re-offer their property for sale
a. Number Sold: The number of properties that have gone to a closing in the last 6 months.
b. Days on Market (DOM): The marketing time it has taken properties to sell in the last 6 months.
c. Original List Price: The price at which a sold property was originally marketed.
d. Final List Price: The price at which a sold property was marketed just prior to selling.
e. Sold/Closed Price: The price for which a property sold.
f. List to Sales Ratio: The percentage of the list price that the buyer ultimately paid for the property.
List to Sales Ratio = Sold Price
Final List Price
a. Absorption Rate / Months of Inventory: An estimate of how fast listings are currently selling measured in months. For example, if 100 properties sell per month and there are 800 properties for sale - there is an 8 month supply of inventory before counting the additional properties that will come on the market.
