The absorption rate in real estate tells us how long it would take to sell the current inventory if no other homes come on the market. This is based on the amount of sales that have taken place over the past 6 months. A balanced inventory is 6 months, under 6 is a sellers market, over 6 months is a buyers market. We are currently at 12 months, which is most definitely a buyers market.
You can see that most of the homes sold were under $300,000, which tells me the majority of sales were to first time home buyers. This has been true for a while now.
