A comparatively lower MSI is more beneficial for sellers while a higher MSI is better for buyers. The May 2012 MSI of 4.4 months was at a mid range compared with May 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 May was 54, down -28.0% from 75 days last month and down -1.8% from 55 days in May of last year. The May 2012 DOM was at a mid range compared with May 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 May 2012 Selling Price per Square Foot of $433 was up 12.5% from $385 last month and up 14.2% from $379 in May 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 May 2012 Selling Price vs Original List Price of 98.2% was up from 97.9% last month and up from 95.7% in May 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 May 2012 was 10, equal to 10 last month and down -9.1% from 11 in May of last year.
