Following is my market report for Condo/Lofts in the city of St Louis (Areas 1,2,3,4,5).  These statistics were gathered from the local Multiple Listing Service and are provided as a service to the public:

There were 548 Total Active Listings on the market.

44 listings Sold in the last 30 days.

Average sales price was $172,559.

Maximum sales price was $520,000.

145 was the average days on market (DOM).

There were 11 new Active listings, with list prices ranging from $49,900 to $299,000.

6 listings went Under Contract (Contingent/Option), with list prices ranging from $62,500 to $379,500.

11 listings moved closer to closing (Pending), with List prices ranging from $88,000 to $569,000.

19 listings Sold, with Sold prices ranging from $88,500 to $520,000. 

14 listings Expired from the market, with List prices ranging from $55,900 to $439,000.

And 8 listings went Inactive (Cancelled/Withdrawn), with List prices ranging from $79,900 to $269,000.

The Pending Ratio was 2.0%.  This is the Pendings divided by the Actives (11/548).  This is the number of properties going under contract compared to the number of active properties on the market.

The Absorbtion Rate was 12.45.  This is the active homes on the market divided by the number of homes sold in the last 30 days (548/44).  This tells us how many months of inventory we have on the market.  It demonstrates how long it would take to sell all the homes on the market if no other homes came on the market.

For the 19 listings that Sold, 5.3% were on the market for 30 days or less, and 52.6% were on the market for 120+ days.  For the 30 day or less category, the average sales price to list price ratio was 87.7%.  For the 120+ day category, the average sales price to list price ratio was 78.8%.  That goes to show homes priced correctly will sell quicker and closer to list
