A comparatively lower MSI is more beneficial for sellers while a higher MSI is better for buyers. The April 2012 MSI of 3.5 months was at its lowest level compared with April of 2011 and 2010.
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 April was 80, up 1.3% from 79 days last month and down -21.6% from 102 days in April of last year. The April 2012 DOM was at a mid range compared with April of 2011 and 2010.
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 April 2012 Selling Price per Square Foot of $389 was up 7.2% from $363 last month and up 6.0% from $367 in April 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 April 2012 Selling Price vs Original List Price of 97.8% was down from 98.4% last month and equal to 97.8% in April of last year.
Inventory / New Listings / Sales
This last view of the market combines monthly inventory of Properties for sale along with New Listings and Sales. The graph shows the basic annual seasonality of the market as well as the relationship between these items. The number of New Listings in April 2012 was 96, down -7.7% from 104 last month and down -35.1% from 148 in April of last year.
