Inventory( Active Listings)
The number of property listings active at the end of the month
Economists ' note: There are a number of ways to define and calculate Inventory. Our method is to simply count the number of active listings on the last day of the month, and hold this number to compare with the same month the following year. Inventory rises when New Listings are outpacing the number of listings that go off-market( regardless of whether they actually sell). Likewise, it falls when New Listings aren ' t keeping up with the rate at which homes are going off-market.

Months Supply of Inventory
An estimate of the number of months it will take to deplete the current Inventory given recent sales rates
Economists ' note: MSI is a useful indicator of market conditions. The benchmark for a balanced market( favoring neither buyer nor seller) is 5.5 months of inventory. Anything higher is traditionally a buyers ' market, and anything lower is a sellers ' market. There is no single accepted way of calculating MSI. A common method is to divide current Inventory by the most recent month ' s Closed Sales count, but this count is a usually poor predictor of future Closed Sales due to seasonal cycles. To eliminate seasonal effects, we use the 12-month average of monthly Closed Sales instead.
