Windermere Real Estate/Orcas Island
Let's take a look
The pending ratio indicates the supply & demand of the market. Specifically, a high ratio means that listings are in demand and quickly going to contract. Alternatively, a low ratio means there are not enough qualified buyers for the existing supply.
at the real estate market. Currently there is 1 sale pending in the market overall, leaving 18 listings still for sale. The resulting pending ratio is 5.3% (1 divided by 19). So you might be asking yourself, that's great... but what exactly does it mean? I'm glad you asked!
"Current inventory is described as somewhat slow."
Taking a closer look, we notice that the single pending listing is found in the $300K - $400K price range. We also notice that the $200K - $300K price range has a relatively large inventory of properties for sale at 4 listings. The median list price (or asking price) for all properties in this market is $407,500.

Alternatively, a total of 14 listings have failed to sell in that same period of time. Listings may fail to sell for many reasons such as being priced too high, having been inadequately marketed, the property was in poor condition, or perhaps the owner had second thoughts about selling at this particular time. The $300K - $400K price range has the highest number of off-market listings at 7 properties.

Looking at the chart to the right, you might be wondering why average days on market (DOM) is important. This is a useful measurement because it can help us to determine whether we are in a buyer's market (indicated by high DOM), or a seller's market (indicated by low DOM). Active listings (properties for sale) have been on the market for a median time of 236 days.

The recent history of sales can be seen in the two charts below. The median sold price for the last 30 days was $315,000 with a DOM of 4 days.
"The median list-to-sales ratio for this area is 94.8%."
Since the recent DOM is less than the median DOM for the last 6 months, it is a positive indicator for demand. It is always important to realize that real estate markets can fluctuate due to many factors, including shifting interest rates, the economy, or seasonal changes.
Ratios are simple ways to express the difference between two values such as list price and sold price. In our case, we typically use the list-to-sale ratio to determine the percentage of the final list price that the buyer ultimately paid. It is a very common method to help buyers decide how much to offer on a property.

Analysis of the absorption rate indicates an inventory of 13.5 months based on the last 6 months of sales. This estimate is often used to determine how long it would take to sell off the current inventory of properties if all conditions remained the same. It is significant to mention that this estimate does not take into consideration any additional properties that will come onto the market in the future.
