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 January was 139, up 3.7% from
134 days last month and up 107.5% from 67 days in January of
last year. The January 2018 DOM was at a mid level compared
with January of 2017 and 2016.

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 January 2018 Selling Price per Square Foot of $348 was
down 16.7% from $418 last month and down 0.6% from 350 in
January 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 January 2018 Selling Price vs Original
List Price of 90.0% was up from 89.3% last month and down
from 92.3% in January of last year.
