Real Estate Agent with Platinum Realty 1999090686

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

There are 1772 total Active listings on the market.

220 listings Sold in the last 30 days.

Average sales price was $160,866.

90 was the average days on market (DOM).

There were 104 new Active listings this past week, with List prices ranging from $14,900 to $789,900.

30 listings went Under Contract (Contingent/Option), with list prices ranging from $19,900 to $885,000.

57 listings moved closer to closing (Pending), with List prices ranging from $10,000 to $885,000.

43 listings Sold, with Sold prices ranging from $3,500 to $823,000. 

45 listings Expired from the market, with List prices ranging from $10,000 to $1,249,000.

And 27 listings went Inactive (Cancelled/Withdrawn), with List prices ranging from $5,000 to $379,900.

For the 43 listings that Sold, 32.6% were on the market for 30 days or less, and 16.3% were on the market for 120+ days.  For the 30 day or less category, the average sales price to list price ratio was 96.1 %.  For the 120+ day category, the average sales price to list price ratio was 92.6%.   So, homes that are priced correctly will sell faster and for more money.

The Pending Ratio was 3.2%.  This is the pendings divided by the Actives (57/1772).  This is the number of properties going under contract compared to the number of active properties on the market.

The Absorbtion Rate was 8.05.  This is the active homes on the market divided by the number of homes sold in the last 30 days (1772/220).  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.
