What Does This Data Mean?

When we look at the market trends the month's of inventory is a key number.  This number is the total number of home sales in a given month divided into the total number of active listings.  In this case 570/422 = 1.5 (rounded).  This means if no other listings were put on the market and the same number of homes continues to sell, it will take 1.5 months to exhaust the current inventory.  A neutral market is considered 6 months of inventory.  Anything less than 5 is considered a seller's market and anything greater than 7 is considered a buyer's market. Arlington is Currently in a strong Seller's Market
