About the Months of Inventory Report
 
 

1. Months of Inventory based on Closed Sales (MOI based on Closed Sales)
   MOI based on Closed Sales = the number of properties for sale divided by the number of properties sold.

How to Use Months of Inventory Report?

Refer to For Sale vs. Sold Report for the number of properties for sale, pended and sold that are used to calculate the Months of Inventory report. As a rule of thumb, an inventory level of less than three indicates a strong seller market while an inventory level greater than six indicates a buyer's market.

Absorption Rate

About Absorption Rate Report
 
 

1. Absorption Rate based on Closed Sales (%)
   Absorption Rate based on Closed Sales (%) = the number of properties sold divided by the number of properties for sale (in percentage).
   For instance, if there are 1,000 active listings and 100 of them sold in a given month, the rate of absorption would be 10%. 10% of the market is being sold in that given month.

The Rate of Absorption measures the inverse of Months of Inventory and represents how much of the current active listings (as a percentage) are being absorbed (sold or pended) each month. The Absorption Rate is presented as a percentage (%) of the current inventory.
