Dear Clients, Friends and Fellow Associates~
 
We would like to share our monthly market trend reports with you.  This crystal ball or trend report tells us where the most robust (busiest) price segments of the market are.  It will show us the active number of listings and the sales that occur each month in each pricing segment.  It also give us an actual listing to sale price, the days on the market and the number of months of inventory.
 
The most critical information that a Market Trend Report will convey is what we call the “Big Three”.  The Big Three are the 3 most vital statistics for any market place in any price range.  The big three statistics are as follows:

1.  Average number of listings taken vs. Average number of sales in a given period which will give us the number of months of inventory that we have.  

2.  Average Days on the Market for properties that do sell when they are correct in price.  

3.  Average List price to Average Sales Price which is an indication of negotiation and the firmness of the market.   

This information is a snapshot of how the market place has performed in the recent past, which is often a good predictor of future market performance.  If you have any specific questions about the market or would like to receive these reports send us an email.  We are very familiar with these reports and know how to interpret them for you.
