Inventory & MSI
The total inventory of properties available for sale as of December was 134, down -6.9% from 144 last month and up 25.2% from 107 in December of last year. December 2013 Inventory was at a mid range compared to December of 2012 and 2011.

A comparatively lower MSI is more beneficial for sellers while a higher MSI is better for buyers. The December 2013 MSI of 2.8 months was at a mid range compared with December of 2012 and 2011.

 

Market Time
The average Days On Market (DOM) shows how many days the average property is on the market before it sells. An upward trend in DOM tends to indicate a move towards more of a buyer's market, a downward trend a move towards more of a seller's market. The DOM for December was 59, up from 37 days last month and down from 77 days in December of last year. The December 2013 DOM was at its lowest level compared with December of 2012 and 2011.

 

Selling Price Per Square Foot
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. The December 2013 selling price per square foot of $358 was down -6.3% from $382 last month and up 10.2% from $325 in December of last year.

 

Selling Price vs Listing Price
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 December 2013 selling price vs list price of 97.8% was up from 97.7% last month and down from 98.9% in December of last year.
