Sales Price / List Price Ratio
The sales price/list price ratio is a metric used to determine the average sale price divided by the average list price for sold properties, measured as a percentage. If the ratio is greater than 100%, it implies that the homes are selling for more than the list price. If it is below 100%, it indicates that homes are selling for less than the list price. As of December 2023, the sales price/list price ratio was 96.57%, the same as the previous month, and up from 95.51% in December 2022.
Number of Properties Sold & Absorption Rate
In December 2023, 172 properties were sold – a decrease of 22.17% from the previous month’s figure of 221, and 13.13% lower than December 2022’s 198. The sales of December 2023 were notably the lowest compared to those of December 2022 and 2021. The absorption rate is calculated by dividing the average number of sales per month by the total number of available properties.
Average Days on Market
The DOM represents the length of time a property remains on the market before it is sold. A rising trend in DOM often signals a shift toward a buyer’s market, whereas a decreasing trend indicates a shift toward a seller’s market.

Average Sales Price per Square Foot

Inventory & MSI
MSI, or months of supply inventory, is a crucial factor to consider when it comes to the real estate market. A lower MSI is advantageous for sellers while a higher MSI is more beneficial for buyers. In December 2023, the MSI reached its highest level compared to the previous two years, standing at 4.45 months.
