I posted the Market Absorbtion Rate for Mission Hills San Diego 1 year ago. Let's see if anything has changed. I wanted to give you some quick numbers on the Mission Hills, Banker's Hill and Hillcrest detached home market. Ok, I know you are asking, what the heck is market absorbtion rate? Simply defined, it's the amount of time it takes for the current inventory to be sold or absorbed by the market. Example: If there are 100 homes on market right now AND no new properties came on the market, the Market Absorption Rate is the amount of time it would take to sell all 100 homes.
For the entire zip code of 92103 for ALL Detached Homes the current Absorbtion Rate is a whopping 8.5 months. That means the average Days on the Market for a detached home is 255 days. 1 year ago it was 267 days so you see, it's only slightly better.
"Normal Market" conditions exist when the Absorption Rate is between 5-6 months.
"Sellers Market" conditions exist when the Absorption Rate is lower. (1-4 months)
"Buyers Market" conditions exist when the Absorption Rate is higher. (7+ months)
You might be asking yourself, "Why does the MLS report a much lower number for Days on the Market?
Because the MLS calculates the average DOM as the average days on market for the listings that actually sold. What it leaves out of its calculation altogether are homes that were withdrawn, listings that expired, listings that were withdrawn for a day and then re-listed to restart the clock, or those that were never put in the MLS until they sold (like new construction where they might list only one home in a subdivision, but actually have 20 for sale). And all of those affect the reported DOM.
As you can clearly see it is a VERY GOOD Buyer's Market. This is an overall average for EVERY detached home that has SOLD in the last year in the zip code of 92103.
You think this number is high? Get this, the homes SOLD above $1,000,000 in our neighborhood have a Days on the Market average of 684 Days. 1 year ago it was 754 days. As you can see, not much as changed in the Mission Hills, Hillcrest real estate market for detached homes.
