Market Time
The average Days On Market (DOM) shows how many
days the average Property is on the market before it
sells. An upward trend in DOM tends to indicate a move
towards more of a Buyer's market, a downward trend a
move towards more of a Seller's market. The DOM for

month and down 19.5% from 87 days in September of
last year. The September 2011 DOM was at its lowest

Selling Price per Square Foot
The Selling Price per Square Foot is a great indicator for
the direction of Property values. Since Median Sales
Price and Average Sales price can be impacted by the
'mix' of high or low end Properties in the market, the
selling price per square foot is a more normalized
indicator on the direction of Property values. The
September 2011 Selling Price per Square Foot of $138
was up 6.9% from $129 last month and up 2.7% from
134 in September of last year.
Selling Price vs Original Listing Price
The Selling Price vs Original Listing Price reveals the
average amount that Sellers are agreeing to come down
from their original list price. The lower the ratio is
below 100% the more of a Buyer's market exists, a ratio
at or above 100% indicates more of a Seller's market.
The September 2011 Selling Price vs Original List Price
of 95.6% was up from 95.1% last month and up from
93.7% in September of last year.
