Market Time
3 Mo Avg
120
The average Days On Market (DOM) shows how many days the
average Property is on the market before it sells. An upward
100
trend in DOM tends to indicate a move towards more of a
Buyer's market, a downward trend a move towards more of a
80
Seller's market. The DOM for December was 69, up 19.0% from
58 days last month and up 1.5% from 68 days in December of last
60
year. The December 2017 DOM was at a mid level compared

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 December 2017 Selling Price per Square Foot of $138 was
down 9.9% from $153 last month and down 6.3% from 147 in
December 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 December 2017 Selling Price vs Original
List Price of 95.7% was down from 95.8% last month and up
from 95.4% in December of last year.
