Price Trends - Sold vs. Listed
- Understand the difference between "listing prices" (what sellers are asking for) and "sold prices" (what buyers are willing to pay).
- By comparing these price trends, you'll have a good idea of where the market is heading. The median listing and sold property prices are calculated based on the market activity each month.
- You should notice the drop off in the sold price in green compared to the list price in blue, this really emphasizes the importance of pricing your home correctly when putting it on the market.
(Some sales are not immediately available from public records. As they become available, the data are updated.)
Market Inventory Trends
- Review the inventory and health of the market by looking at the number of sold and listed properties.
- To understand if the market inventory is growing or shrinking, compare the number of sold properties to new listings. If inventory is growing, the market could be trending toward a buyer's market. If inventory is shrinking, then it could be a seller's market.
- Gauge the health of the market by comparing the number of standard to distressed listings. If the number of distressed listings is greater, the market could be unhealthy and more likely a buyer's market.
