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 July was 38, up 5.6% from 36 days
last month and up 8.6% from 35 days in July of last year. The
July 2016 DOM was at a mid level compared with July of 2015
and 2014.

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 July 2016 Selling Price per Square Foot of $246 was down
2.5% from $252 last month and down 0.4% from 247 in July 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 July 2016 Selling Price vs Original List
Price of 97.0% was down from 97.5% last month and up from
96.9% in July of last year.
