Taking a closer look, we notice that

the $150K - $200K price range has a

relatively large number of contracts

pending sale.

We also notice that the $150K - $200K

price range has a relatively large

inventory of properties for sale at 174

listings. The median list price (or

asking price) for all properties in this

market is $274,500.

A total of 1423 contracts have closed

in the last 6 months with a median sold

price of $201,950. Breaking it down,

we notice that the $150K - $200K price

range contains the highest number of

sold listings.

Alternatively, a total of 402 listings

have failed to sell in that same period

of time. Listings may fail to sell for

many reasons such as being priced

too high, having been inadequately

marketed, the property was in poor

condition, or perhaps the owner had

second thoughts about selling at this

particular time. The $150K - $200K

price range has the highest number of

off-market listings at 98 properties.

"Current inventory is described

as mildly active."

at the real estate market. Currently

there are 560 sales pending in the

market overall, leaving 993 listings still

for sale. The resulting pending ratio is

36.1% (560 divided by 1,553). So you

might be asking yourself, that's great...

but what exactly does it mean? I'm

glad you asked!

The pending ratio indicates the supply

& demand of the market. Specifically,

a high ratio means that listings are in

demand and quickly going to contract.

Alternatively, a low ratio means there

are not enough qualified buyers for the

existing supply.

Analysis of the absorption rate

indicates an inventory of 4.2 months

based on the last 6 months of sales.

This estimate is often used to

determine how long it would take to

sell off the current inventory of

properties if all conditions remained

the same. It is significant to mention

that this estimate does not take into

consideration any additional properties

that will come onto the market in the

future.

Looking at the chart to the right, you

might be wondering why average days

on market (DOM) is important. This is

a useful measurement because it can

help us to determine whether we are

in a buyer's market (indicated by high

DOM), or a seller's market (indicated

by low DOM). Active listings

(properties for sale) have been on the

market for a median time of 74 days.

Analysis of sold properties for the last

six months reveals a median sold

price of $201,950 and 43 days on

market. Notice that properties in the

$100K - $150K price range have sold

quickest over the last six months.

The recent history of sales can be

seen in the two charts below. The

median sold price for the last 30 days

was $208,750 with a DOM of 41 days.

Since the recent DOM is less than the

median DOM for the last 6 months, it

is a positive indicator for demand. It is

always important to realize that real

estate markets can fluctuate due to

many factors, including shifting interest

rates, the economy, or seasonal

changes.

Ratios are simple ways to express the

difference between two values such as

list price and sold price. In our case,

we typically use the list-to-sale ratio to

determine the percentage of the final

list price that the buyer ultimately paid.

It is a very common method to help

buyers decide how much to offer on a

property.

"The median list-to-sales ratio

for this area is 98.0%."

(337) 267-4099

Favors Sellers Favors Buyers


1. PROPERTIES FOR SALE (ACTIVE)

a. Number Active: The number of listings for sale which are currently being marketed but do not yet have a purchase

agreement.

b. Days on Market (DOM): The marketing period of currently active listings. This does not account for some listings

which have had a previous listing period, but were re-entered as a new listing.

c. Current List Price: The price that a property seller is currently asking.

2. CONTRACTS PENDING

a. Number Pending: The number of current listings for which a contract has been signed but has not yet closed.

b. Pending Ratio: Sometimes called a “list-to-pending ratio”. This is a measure of how fast properties are going under

contract vs. how fast they are being listed.

Pending Ratio = P (Number of Pending Listings)

A+P (Number of Active + Pending)

(P) represents properties that buyers have chosen

(A+P) represents the entire pool from which they have chosen

3. OFF-MARKET

a. Number Off-Market: The number of listing agreements that have failed to close in the last 6 months. Some

owners may choose to re-offer their property for sale.

4. PROPERTIES SOLD (CLOSED CONTRACT)

a. Number Sold: The number of properties that have gone to a closing in the last 6 months.

b. Days on Market (DOM): The marketing time it has taken properties to sell in the last 6 months.

c. Original List Price: The price at which a sold property was originally marketed.

d. Final List Price: The price at which a sold property was marketed just prior to selling.

e. Sold/Closed Price: The price for which a property sold.

f. List to Sales Ratio: The percentage of the list price that the buyer ultimately paid for the property.

List to Sales Ratio = Sold Price

Final List Price

5. ABSORPTION RATE / MONTHS OF INVENTORY

a. Absorption Rate / Months of Inventory: An estimate of how fast listings are currently selling measured in months.

For example, if 100 properties sell per month and there are 800 properties for sale - there is an 8 month supply of

inventory before counting the additional properties that will come on the market.
