Market Time

The average Days On Market (DOM) shows how many days the average Property is on the Market before it sells.

Selling Price per Square Foot

The Selling Price per Square Foot is a great indicator for the direction of Property values. Since Median Sales Price and Average Sales price can be impacted by the 'mix' of high or low end Properties in the market, the selling price per square foot is a more normalized indicator on the direction of Property values. The December 2011 Selling Price per Square Foot of $142 was down -13.4% from $164 last month and down -16.5% from $170 in December of last year.

 

Selling Price vs Original Listing Price

The Selling Price vs Original Listing Price reveals the average amount that Sellers are agreeing to come down from their original list price. The lower the ratio is below 100% the more of a Buyer's market exists, a ratio at or above 100% indicates more of a Seller's market. The December 2011 Selling Price vs Original List Price of 95.9% was up from 94.8% last month and up from 94.6% in December of last year.
