Explanation: Active listings: How many listings were for sale during each month. The number of active listings is a "snapshot" of active listings on the 15th of the month. Rather than showing the number of all listings that were active at any time during the month, this chart displays a representation of the number of listings that were active on one day. A trend upward or downward from month to month can be established by using the same day of every month.
What’s Your Manahwkin Home Worth?
New Listings: How many properties were put on the market during each month. It is the total number of listings newly added to the MLS system during the month. (All listings whose List Date falls within that particular month.)
Sold listings: The total number of listings whose sales contracts were completed, or closed, during the month.
Listing Price Chart: The Listings Prices chart displays median and/or average list prices and sale prices.
- Manahawkin Median List Price: $299,900 for the month, up 14.36%. $279,000, up 7.35% year to date
Explanation: A median price is where half the prices are higher and half the prices are lower.* List price refers to the current list price of a listing. Sale price refers to the price a listing sold for, and is available only for sold listings.
Active listings are those which were active on a single day of the month, providing a "snapshot" of a day. A trend upward or downward from month to month can be established by using the same day of every month. The 15th of the month is used.
New listings are all the properties put on the market during an entire month.
Sold listings are all the properties whose sales contracts were completed, or closed, during the month.
* If the quantity of values (prices) is odd, the central value is used. If the quantity of values is even, then there is no single central value. The two central values are averaged (added and divided by 2).
Absorption Rate Chart: The Absorption Rate, in Months chart shows how long the current inventory of properties would last at the current rate of sales.
- Manahawkin Absorption Rate: 3.84 months for December, down 0.26%. 4.02 months, down 40.80% year to date
Explanation: If no new properties were added to the market, and sales continued at a steady pace, the Absorption rate indicates the number of months required to sell all the properties on the market.
Absorption rate is based on two numbers: The number of active listings and the average number of listings sold per month for the previous n months. The number of active listings is a "snapshot" of listings active on a single day (the 15th of the month).
Important: Anything LESS than 6 months shows a lack of inventory and is generally considered a “seller’s market.”
Sold to List Ratio: The Sold to List Ratio chart displays the average ratio of sale price to original list price, in percentage.
- Manahawkin Median Sold Price: The median sold price for a Manahwkin home is up 7.14% year to date.
Explanation: This ratio shows how the sale prices of properties compare to their original list prices.
Numbers below 100% indicate that, on average, properties sold for less than their original list prices. Numbers above 100% indicate that, on average, properties sold for more.
The ratio is calculated by dividing the sale price by the original list price.
Sale Price ÷ Original List Price
