This last section contains two more sales metrics that we like to keep an eye on.
Percent Change Month Over Month – The chart on top looks at performance on a month-over-month perspective. For instance, the number of active listings fell 7.5% between the end of April and the end of May.
Sales Price to List Price – The bottom chart examines home prices and at what discount homes are selling for relative to their asking prices. In May, we came in at 95.9% which means homes sold at an average discount of 4.1% off of the average list price.
