Real Estate
Absorption Rate Analysis; that is, how many homes the market on a monthly basis absorbs & how does it affect me & my home? Precisely how does a buyer or seller know when a real estate market most favors buyers or sellers? No buyer wants to pay too much & no seller wants to leave money on the table by pricing too low. The answer is in knowing the market absorption rates. Property absorption rates in any local real estate market are usually considered the best indicators of whether that market is a sellers’ market, a buyers’ market, or a neutral market. Knowing the current real estate market cycle is essential for success as either a buyer or seller.
Sellers’ Market – Absorption Rates 1-4;
Neutral Market – Absorption Rates 5-6;
Buyers’ Market – Absorption Rates greater than 7
The process of calculating absorption rates for local markets will be helpful to anyone trying to figure out the current real estate cycle & how to formulate a winning buying or selling strategy.
For instance, there are currently
94 Single Family Homes for sale in Hebron
There are 4 homes under deposit or deposit/show status
35 homes sold over the last six months
The absorption rate would then be 94 divided by 6 = 15.6 divided into 94 active for sale. An absorption rate of 6 months indicates a neutral market and, that in an unchanged market, it will take:
6 months to sell all the 94 active listings
This basic analysis can be used with most of property types including building lots, homes, condominiums, or even commercial properties. The absorption rate analysis also helps buyers in that in a buyer's market a low purchase offer is often a winning strategy.
