  • Days on market. (DOM) For November 2008 have increased compared to November 2007. Approximately 43 days average.
  • Inventory levels have increased for November 2008. Compared to November 2007.
  • Unit sales for November 2008 are down compared to unit sale in November 2007.

What does this mean?

The average sale price for the month of November 2008 has increased by 7.7%. With the decrease in unit sales and the increase in listing inventory the sales to listing ratio is at 15% which indicates that the market is balanced. A balanced market means buyers have a better choice of listings. For a seller it means more competition and a longer selling time.
