2 ly Market Detail - March 214 Cash Sales The number of during in which buyers exclusively paid in cash Economists' note : Cash Sales can be a useful indicator of the extent to which investors are participating in the market. Why? Investors are far more likely to have the funds to purchase a home available up front, whereas the typical homebuyer requires a mortgage or some other form of financing. There are, of course, many possible exceptions, so this statistic should be interpreted with care.

3 ly Market Detail - March 214 New Pending Sales The number of property listings that went from "Active" to "Pending" status during Economists' note : Because of the typical length of time it takes for a sale to close, economists consider Pending Sales to be a decent indicator of potential future. It is important to bear in mind, however, that not all Pending Sales will be closed successfully. So, the effectiveness of Pending Sales as a future indicator of Closed Sales is susceptible to changes in market conditions such as the availability of financing for homebuyers and the inventory of distressed properties for sale.

But this increase will take place only after the market has turned up, so New Listings are a lagging indicator of the health of the market. Also be aware of properties which have been withdrawn from the market and then relisted. These are not really.

4 ly Market Detail - March 214 The median sale price reported for (i.e. 5% of sales were above and 5% of sales were below) Economists' note : is our preferred summary statistic for price activity because, unlike Average Sale Price, Median Sale Price is not sensitive to high sale prices for small numbers of homes that may not be characteristic of the market area.

However, Average Sale Price does have its uses particularly when it is analyzed alongside the. For one, the relative difference between the two statistics can provide some insight into the market for higher-end homes in an area.

5 ly Market Detail - March 214 Median Days on Market The median number of days that properties sold during were on the market Economists' note : Median Days on Market is the amount of time the "middle" property selling this month was on the market. That is, 5% of homes selling this month took less time to sell, and 5% of homes took more time to sell. We use the median rather than the average because the median is not particularly sensitive to sales of homes that took an unusually large amount of time to sell relative to the vast majority of homes in the market. Median Days on Market March % February % January % December % November % October % September % August % July % June % May % April % March % Median Days on Market Average Percent of Original List Price Received The average of the sale price (as a percentage of the original list price) across all properties selling during Economists' note : The Average Percent of Original List Price Received is an indicator of market conditions, in that in a recovering market, the measure rises as buyers realize that the market may be moving away from them and they need to match the selling price (or better it) in order to get a contract on the house. This is usually the last measure to indicate a market that has shifted from down to up, and is another lagging indicator. Avg. Pct. of Orig.
