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 January was 76, up 7.0% from 71 days last month and down 38.7% from 124 days in January of last year. The January 2012 DOM was at a mid level compared with January of 2011 and 2010.

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 January 2012 Selling Price per Square Foot of $307 was up 7.6% from $286 last month and down 4.0% from 320 in January 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 January 2012 Selling Price vs Original List Price of 96.3% was down from 98.6% last month and up from 95.6% in January of last year.
