This next section contains two more metrics we track monthly.
Percent Change Month Over Month – This metric compares the monthly performance to the previous month and helps you see trends over time. For example, in August home sales were up 15.8% when compared to July’s performance.
Sales Price to List Price – This is a quick way to gauge pricing trends. This metric compares what homes sold for in relation to what they were listed for. In August, it was 94.8%, the lowest it has been in the past year. Looking at it another way, buyers on average saw a 5.2% discount off of asking prices. Compare that to February through May when buyers were paying a premium over list on average.
*Figures for active homes for sale, UCB sales and pending sales are based on the numbers at the end of the month.
