ABSORPTION RATE STATISTICS FOR ASHBURN HOMES FOR SALE MAY 2013
So what is absorption rate? I'm glad you asked! Absorption Rate is how many homes are sold in a given period of time. So if 120 homes sold in the
last 12 months, then the absorption rate is 10 homes per month. So why is this important you ask? It is only through absorption rate that one can define a market in terms of Seller Market, Buyers Market or a Balanced or Normal Market.
WHY IS ABSORPTION RATE IMPORTANT?
Because it determines how quickly homes move on and off the market....and you want to know that right? So you know how long it will take you to sell your home if priced properly, so you can make that move for your job, or buy that move-up home, or be able to predict with some level of certainty how long you have to keep your house clean and have people going through it when you have it for sale.
ASHBURN REAL ESTATE STATISTICS - ABSORPTION RATES
Okay so the absorption rate for condos is: 110 sold in the last 12 months or 9 per month. The absorption rate for Townhomes is: 462 sold in the last 12 months or 39 per month. The absorption rate for Single family detached homes is: 387 sold in last 12 months or 32 per month.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER!
So to make sense of all this you need to know the current inventory of homes so, as of June 3rd here is the scoop! There are currently 12 condos on the market so that represents about 40 days of inventory at the current absorption rate. 41 Townhomes are on the market which represents a bit more than a month of inventory and finally there are 76 single family homes on the market that represent about 2-1/3 months of inventory.
According to the National Association of Realtors:
A Sellers market is defined by 1-4 months of inventory
A Normal Market is defined by 5-6 months of inventory
A buyers Market is defined by 7+ months of inventory
So that is great news for sellers!
