Seller's market. The DOM for August was 38, equal to 38 days
last month and down 19.1% from 47 days in August of last year.

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 $129 was down
2.1% from $132 last month and up 7.3% from 120 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 97.6% was equal to 97.6% last month and up from
96.2% in August of last year.
