12 Properties came on the Market This Week vs 10 Last week

15 Properties Went Into Contract This Week  vs 18 Last week

5 Properties Sold This Week  vs 14 Last week

 

The Absorption rate this week is 29.40 weeks. See the attached picture of the absorption rate over time.  The absorption rate is a number that describes how many weeks it will take to see off the current inventory at the current rate of sales.  We had 5 closings this week and we have 147 active listings.  So at the current rate of 5 closings per week, it would take 29.40 weeks (147/5) to sell off the current inventory.  See the chart attached as a photo to see how absorption rate has fluctuated over time.

The absorption rate is often thought of as the factor that indicates if we are in a sellers' or buyers' market.

Generally if there is more than 4 months of inventory it's a buyers' market.  Less than 4 months it's a sellers' market.  Prices are down but so is the inventory.  

Another key factor is listing date to contract.  See the quarterly review and consult an agent.  Outlyers can skew these numbers.
