Closed Sales
The number of sales transactions which closed during
the month
Economists' note : Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most
important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When
comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we
recommend using the year-over-year percent changes rather than the
absolute counts. Realtors® and their clients should also be wary of
month-to-month comparisons of Closed Sales because of potential
seasonal effects.

Cash Sales
The number of Closed Sales during the month in which
buyers exclusively paid in cash
Economists' note : Cash Sales can be a useful indicator of the extent to
which investors are participating in the market. Why? Investors are
far more likely to have the funds to purchase a home available up front,
whereas the typical homebuyer requires a mortgage or some other
form of financing. There are, of course, many possible exceptions, so
this statistic should be interpreted with care.

Economists' note : This statistic is simply another way of viewing
Cash Sales. The remaining percentages of Closed Sales (i.e. those not

New Pending Sales
The number of property listings that went from
"Active" to "Pending" status during the month
Economists' note : Because of the typical length of time it takes for a
sale to close, economists consider Pending Sales to be a decent
indicator of potential future Closed Sales. It is important to bear in
mind, however, that not all Pending Sales will be closed successfully.
So, the effectiveness of Pending Sales as a future indicator of Closed
Sales is susceptible to changes in market conditions such as the
availability of financing for homebuyers and the inventory of
distressed properties for sale.

New Listings
The number of properties put onto the market during
the month
Economists' note : In a recovering market, we expect that new listings
will eventually rise as sellers raise their estimations of value. But this
increase will take place only after the market has turned up, so New
Listings are a lagging indicator of the health of the market. Also be
aware of properties which have been withdrawn from the market and
then relisted. These are not really New Listings.

Average Sale Price as a summary statistic for home prices. However,
Average Sale Price does have its uses—particularly when it is analyzed
alongside the Median Sale Price. For one, the relative difference
between the two statistics can provide some insight into the market for
higher-end homes in an area.

Median Days on Market
The median number of days that properties sold during
the month were on the market
Economists' note : Median Days on Market 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. We use the median rather than the average
because the median is not particularly sensitive to sales of homes that
took an unusually large amount of time to sell relative to the vast
majority of homes in the market.

Economists' note : The Average Percent of Original List Price Received
is an indicator of market conditions, in that in a recovering market, the
measure rises as buyers realize that the market may be moving away
from them and they need to match the selling price (or better it) in
order to get a contract on the house. This is usually the last measure to
indicate a market that has shifted from down to up, and is another
lagging indicator.

Economists' note: Median Days on Market 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. We use the median rather than the average
because the median is not particularly sensitive to sales of homes that
took an unusually large amount of time to sell relative to the vast
majority of homes in the market.

Closed Sales
The number of sales transactions which closed during
the month
Economists' note : Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most
important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When
comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we
recommend using the year-over-year percent changes rather than the
absolute counts. Realtors® and their clients should also be wary of
month-to-month comparisons of Closed Sales because of potential
seasonal effects.

Cash Sales
The number of Closed Sales during the month in which
buyers exclusively paid in cash
Economists' note : Cash Sales can be a useful indicator of the extent to
which investors are participating in the market. Why? Investors are
far more likely to have the funds to purchase a home available up front,
whereas the typical homebuyer requires a mortgage or some other
form of financing. There are, of course, many possible exceptions, so
this statistic should be interpreted with care.

New Pending Sales
The number of property listings that went from
"Active" to "Pending" status during the month
Economists' note : Because of the typical length of time it takes for a
sale to close, economists consider Pending Sales to be a decent
indicator of potential future Closed Sales. It is important to bear in
mind, however, that not all Pending Sales will be closed successfully.
So, the effectiveness of Pending Sales as a future indicator of Closed
Sales is susceptible to changes in market conditions such as the
availability of financing for homebuyers and the inventory of
distressed properties for sale.

Average Sale Price does have its uses—particularly when it is analyzed

between the two statistics can provide some insight into the market for

Median Days on Market
The median number of days that properties sold during
the month were on the market
Economists' note : Median Days on Market 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. We use the median rather than the average
because the median is not particularly sensitive to sales of homes that
took an unusually large amount of time to sell relative to the vast
majority of homes in the market.

Economists' note : The Average Percent of Original List Price Received
is an indicator of market conditions, in that in a recovering market, the
measure rises as buyers realize that the market may be moving away
from them and they need to match the selling price (or better it) in
order to get a contract on the house. This is usually the last measure to
indicate a market that has shifted from down to up, and is another
lagging indicator.

Month
Inventory (Active Listings)
The number of property listings active at the end of
the month
Economists' note : There are a number of ways to calculate Inventory,
so these numbers may not match up to others you see in your market.
We calculate Inventory by counting the number of active listings on the
last day of the month, and hold this number to compare with the same
month the following year.

Month
Months Supply of Inventory
An estimate of the number of months it will take to
deplete the current Inventory given recent sales rates
Economists' note : This is an indicator of the state of the market,
whether it is a buyers' market or a sellers' market. The benchmark for
a balanced market (favoring neither buyer nor seller) is 5.5 Months of
Inventory. Higher numbers indicate a buyers' market, lower numbers
a sellers' market.

Economists' note : Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most
important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When
comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we
recommend using the year-over-year percent changes rather than the
absolute counts. Realtors® and their clients should also be wary of
month-to-month comparisons of Closed Sales because of potential
seasonal effects.

Economists' note: Median Days on Market 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. We use the median rather than the average
because the median is not particularly sensitive to sales of homes that
took an unusually large amount of time to sell relative to the vast
majority of homes in the market.

Economists' note: In a recovering market, we expect that new listings
will eventually rise as sellers raise their estimations of value. But this
increase will take place only after the market has turned up, so New
Listings are a lagging indicator of the health of the market. Also be
aware of properties which have been withdrawn from the market and
then relisted. These are not really New Listings.
