Market Time
The average Days On Market (DOM) shows how many days the average property is on the market before it sells. An upward trend in DOM tends to indicate a move towards more of a buyer’s market, a downward trend a move towards more of a seller’s market. The DOM for September was 41, down from 43 days last month and up from 38 days in September of last year. The September 2014 DOM was at a mid range compared with September of 2013 and 2012.
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 September 2014 selling price per square foot of $174 was up 1.2% from $172 last month and up 8.7% from $160 in September of last year.
Selling Price vs Listing Price
The selling price vs listing price reveals the average amount that sellers are agreeing to come down from their 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. TheSeptember 2014 selling price vs list price of 99.1% was down from 99.2% last month and down from 100.7% in September of last year.
