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 April was 204, up 2.0% from 200 days last month and up 3.0% from 198 days in April of last year. The April 2014 DOM was at a mid range compared with April of 2013 and 2012.

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 April 2014 Selling Price per Square Foot of $597 was up 17.5% from $508 last month and up 21.3% from $492 in April of last year

Selling Price vs Listing Price

The Selling Price vs Listing Price reveals the average amount that Sellers are agreeing to come down from their 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 April 2014 Selling Price vs List Price of 93.1% was up from 92.6% last month and down from 93.4% in April of last year.
