Median Time to Contract

The median number of days between the listing date and contract date for all Closed Sales during the month
Economists ' note : Like Time to Sale , Time to Contract is a measure of the length of the home selling process calculated for sales which closed during the month . The difference is that Time to Contract measures the number of days between the initial listing of a property and the signing of the contract which eventually led to the closing of the sale . When the gap between Median Time to Contract and Median Time to Sale grows , it is usually a sign of longer closing times and / or declining numbers of cash sales .

Median Time to Sale

The median number of days between the listing date and closing date for all Closed Sales during the month
Economists ' note : Time to Sale is a measure of the length of the home selling process , calculated as the number of days between the initial listing of a property and the closing of the sale . Median Time to Sale is the amount of time the " middle " property selling this month was on the market . That is , 50 % of homes selling this month took less time to sell , and 50 % of homes took more time to sell . Median Time to Sale gives a more accurate picture than Average Time to Sale , which can be skewed upward by small numbers of properties taking an abnormally long time to sell .
