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 May was 50, down 49.0% from 98 days last month and down 67.5% from 154 days in May of last year. The May 2013 DOM was at its lowest level compared with May of 2012 and 2011.

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 May 2013 Selling Price per Square Foot of $605 was up 14.4% from $529 last month and up 57.3% from 385 in May of last year.

Selling Price vs Original Listing 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 May 2013 Selling Price vs Original List Price of 97.9% was up from 97.1% last month and up from 96.2% in May of last year.
