Pct. of Closed Sales Paid in Cash Cash Sales Cash Sales The number of during in which buyers exclusively paid in cash Economists' note : Cash Sales can be a useful indicator of the extent to which investors are participating in the market. Why? Investors are far more likely to have the funds to purchase a home available up front, whereas the typical homebuyer requires a mortgage or some other form of financing. There are, of course, many possible exceptions, so this statistic should be interpreted with care.

Average Sale Price The median sale price reported for (i.e. 5% of sales were above and 5% of sales were below) Economists' note : is our preferred summary statistic for price activity because, unlike Average Sale Price, Median Sale Price is not sensitive to high sale prices for small numbers of homes that may not be characteristic of the market area. Keep in mind that median price trends over time are not always solely caused by changes in the general value of local real estate. Median sale price only reflects the values of the homes that sold each month, and the mix of the types of homes that sell can change over time.

However, Average Sale Price does have its uses particularly when it is analyzed alongside the. For one, the relative difference between the two statistics can provide some insight into the market for higher-end homes in an area.

Med. Pct. of Orig. List Price Received Dollar Volume Dollar Volume The sum of the sale prices for all sales which closed during Economists' note : Dollar Volume is simply the sum of all sale prices in a given time period, and can quickly be calculated by multiplying by Average Sale Price. It is a strong indicator of the health of the real estate industry in a market, and is of particular interest to real estate professionals, investors, analysts, and government agencies. Potential home sellers and home buyers, on the other hand, will likely be better served by paying attention to trends in the two components of Dollar Volume (i.e. sales and prices) individually. Dollar Volume April 217 $455.4 Million 2.4% March 217 $519.1 Million 25.3% February 217 $352.3 Million 12.5% January 217 $315.7 Million 3.9% December 216 $456.8 Million 18.7% November 216 $437.

This is usually the last measure to indicate a market has shifted from down to up, so it is what we would call a lagging indicator.

Median Time to Sale Median Time to Contract Median Time to Contract The median number of days between the listing date and contract date for all during Economists' note : Like Time to Sale, Time to Contract is a measure of the length of the home selling process calculated for sales which closed during. The difference is that Time to Contract measures the number of days between the initial listing of a property and the signing of the contract which eventually led to the closing of the sale. When the gap between Median Time to Contract and Median Time to Sale grows, it is usually a sign of longer closing times and/or declining numbers of cash sales. Median Time to Contract April 217 29 Days -3.3% March 217 33 Days -15.4% February 217 41 Days -25.5% January 217 36 Days -18.2% December 216 3 Days -28.6% November 216 33 Days -13.2% October 216 33 Days -13.2% September 216 31 Days -24.4% August 216 28 Days -31.7% July 216 28 Days -2.% June 216 28 Days -24.3% May 216 26 Days -31.6% April 216 3 Days -26.8% 8 6 4 2 Median Time to Sale The median number of days between the listing date and closing date for all during Economists' note : Time to Sale is a measure of the length of the home selling process, calculated as the number of days between the initial listing of a property and the closing of the sale. Median Time to Sale is the amount of time the "middle" property selling this month was on the market. That is, 5% of homes selling this month took less time to sell, and 5% of homes took more time to sell. Median Time to Sale gives a more accurate picture than Average Time to Sale, which can be skewed upward by small numbers of properties taking an abnormally long time to sell. Median Time to Sale April 217 76 Days -1.3% March 217 78 Days -7.1% February 217 89 Days -9.2% January 217 84 Days -5.6% December 216 78 Days -1.3% November 216 83 Days -2.4% October 216 83 Days -2.4% September 216 78 Days -8.2% August 216 76 Days -12.6% July 216 77 Days -3.8% June 216 78 Days -1.3% May 216 75 Days -13.8% April 216 77 Days -1.5% 12 1 8 6 4 2 Data released on Wednesday, May 24, 217.

Pending Sales New Pending Sales The number of listed properties that went under contract during Economists' note : Because of the typical length of time it takes for a sale to close, economists consider Pending Sales to be a decent indicator of potential future. It is important to bear in mind, however, that not all Pending Sales will be closed successfully. So, the effectiveness of Pending Sales as a future indicator of Closed Sales is susceptible to changes in market conditions such as the availability of financing for homebuyers and the inventory of distressed properties for sale.

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 properties that were recently taken off the market and quickly relisted, since these are not really new listings.

s Supply of Inventory Inventory Inventory (Active Listings) The number of property listings active at the end of Economists' note : There are a number of ways to define and calculate Inventory. Our method is to simply count the number of active listings on the last day of, and hold this number to compare with the same month the following year. Inventory rises when are outpacing the number of listings that go offmarket (regardless of whether they actually sell). Likewise, it falls when aren't keeping up with the rate at which homes are going off-market.

The benchmark for a balanced market (favoring neither buyer nor seller) is 5.5 months of inventory. Anything higher is traditionally a buyers' market, and anything lower is a sellers' market. There is no single accepted way of calculating MSI. A common method is to divide current Inventory by the most recent month's count, but this count is a usually poor predictor of future due to seasonal cycles. To eliminate seasonal effects, we use the 12-month average of monthly instead. s Supply April 217 2.7-6.9% March 217 2.7-1.% February 217 2.7-6.9% January 217 2.7-6.9% December 216 2.7-6.9% November 216 2.8-9.7% October 216 2.9-6.5% September 216 2.9-6.5% August 216 3. -6.3% July 216 3. -9.1% June 216 3. -14.3% May 216 3. -14.3% April 216 2.9-17.1% 5. 4. 3. 2. 1..

Median Time to Contract by Sale Price The number of sales transactions which closed during Economists' note: are one of the simplest yet most important indicators for the residential real estate market. When comparing across markets of different sizes, we recommend comparing the percent changes in sales rather than the number of sales. (and many other market metrics) are affected by seasonal cycles, so actual trends are more accurately represented by year-over-year changes (i.e. comparing a month's sales to the amount of sales in the same month in the previous year), rather than changes from one month to the next. 45 4 35 3 25 2 15 1 5 Less than $5, April 216 April 217 $5, - $99,999 $1, - $149,999 $15, - $199,999 $2, - $249,999 $25, - $299,999 Sale Price Less than $5, 12-67.6% $5, - $99,999 57-51.7% $1, - $149,999 163-33.5% $15, - $199,999 383-2.5% $2, - $249,999 334 1.2% $25, - $299,999 254 19.8% $3, - $399,999 212 14.6% $4, - $599,999 16 22.1% $6, - $999,999 6 7.1% $1,, or more 16-38.5% $3, - $399,999 $4, - $599,999 $6, - $999,999 $1,, or more 45 4 35 3 25 2 15 1 5 Median Time to Contract by Sale Price The median number of days between the listing date and contract date for all during Economists' note : Like Time to Sale, Time to Contract is a measure of the length of the home selling process calculated for sales which closed during.
