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 ly Market Detail - September 217 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.

Med. Pct. of Orig. List Price Received Dollar Volume ly Market Detail - September 217 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.

Median Time to Sale Median Time to Contract ly Market Detail - September 217 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 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.

New Listings Pending Sales ly Market Detail - September 217 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 ly Market Detail - September 217 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 New Listings are outpacing the number of listings that go off-market (regardless of whether they actually sell). Likewise, it falls when New Listings 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 September 217 5.5-3.5% August 217 5.4-5.3% July 217 5.6-3.4% June 217 5.8-1.7% May 217 6. -1.6% April 217 6.1-1.6% March 217 6.3 1.6% February 217 6.4 3.2% January 217 6.4 1.3% December 216 6. 13.2% November 216 6. 13.2% October 216 5.9 13.5% September 216 5.7 14.% 8. 6. 4. 2.. 213 214 215 216 217 Data released on Friday, October 2, 217.
