Days On Market for Sold Properties
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 August was 44, up 10.0% from 40
days last month and up 12.8% from 39 days in August of last
year. The August 2016 DOM was at a mid level compared with
August of 2015 and 2014.

Selling Price per Square Foot

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 August 2016 Selling Price per Square Foot of $136 was up
1.4% from $134 last month and up 5.5% from 129 in August of
last year.

Selling Price versus Listing Price Ratio

Selling Price vs Original Listings 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 August 2016 Selling Price vs Original
List Price of 97.3% was equal to 97.3% last month and down
from 97.6% in August of last year.
