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 October was 56, up 14.3% from 49
days last month and up 12.0% from 50 days in October of last
year. The October 2017 DOM was at a mid level compared with
October of 2016 and 2015.

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 October 2017 Selling Price per Square Foot of $122 was up
0.6% from $121 last month and up 3.8% from 118 in October 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 October 2017 Selling Price vs Original
List Price of 94.8% was down from 95.0% last month and down
from 95.0% in October of last year.
