August 2007 Inventory Levels
Home inventory levels
are figured out by taking the number of homes on the market in a given zip code
and dividing it by the number of homes sold in that zip code for the last 30
days. The answer will give you the
absorption rate. Or the number of months
it would take to sell the existing inventory at the current rate if no other
homes came on the market.
Note: I do not include properties under contract in the
calculation. And I round up for .5 and
above.
Sellers Market 1-6 Months
Normal
Market 6-8 Months
Buyer’s Market 8+ Months
