The Total Inventory of Properties available for sale as of July was 35, down -22.2% from 45 last month and down -32.7% from 52 in July of last year. July 2012 Inventory was at the lowest level compared to July of 2011 and 2010.

A comparatively lower MSI is more beneficial for sellers while a higher MSI is better for buyers. The July 2012 MSI of 1.9 months was at its lowest level compared with July 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 July was 49, up 63.3% from 30 days last month and down -2.0% from 50 days in July of last year. The July 2012 DOM was at a mid range compared with July 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 July 2012 Selling Price per Square Foot of $619 was down -3.3% from $640 last month and up 11.9% from $553 in July of last year.

Selling Price vs Listing Price

The Selling Price vs Listing Price reveals the average amount that Sellers are agreeing to come down from their 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 July 2012 Selling Price vs List Price of 104.5% was down from 105.6% last month and up from 100.4% in July 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 July 2012 was 17, up 6.3% from 16 last month and down -32.0% from 25 in July of last year.
