Market Time: Highest Compared to May 2017 and 2018
The average Days On Market(DOM) shows how many days the average Property is on the Market before it sells.

Selling Price per Square Foot: Up Compared to April 2019
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.

Selling Price vs. Listing Price: Still a ‘Seller’s’ Market
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 April 2019 Selling Price vs List Price of 106.4% was up from 101.5% last month and up from 106.0% in April of last year.
