Average Days on Market

I have been using Terradatum Market Metrics - it is a fantastic resource for those of us that think the providing of Market Data is the way to provide superior service to all consumers and clients.

If this service were not included as a part of my membership - I would gladly pay for it.

This is an example of the Santa Clarita Data posted on our Santa Clarita Real Estate Blog.

Average Days on Market by Month (AVG DOM)

This chart shows the average amount of time, in days, that it has taken to get a property under contract during any given month. DOM, for any individual property, is defined as the list to the under contract date (either contingent or pending depending on your MLS). The DOM"s of all under contract properties for the month are then added together and divided by the number of properties to get the Ave DOM figure. From a sales rate perspective this metric is an "inverse" indicator, i.e. when the ave DOM is decreasing the sales velocity is increasing and Vice Versa.

The chart subtitle clearly states the percentage change between the first month's value and the last month's value (notice they are the same month but in different years). This "same" month comparison over different years is a popular real estate "yardstick" because there is no "seasonality" involved in the measurement. Thus, any changes that have taken place are primarily due to the market "forces", i.e. the collective behavior of all consumers participating in the market.

Invoking the "linear" trend line helps you recognize whether the rate of sales activity is changing over time or not; and to what approximate degree. An upward sloping rend line indicates an increase in Avg DOM (sales velocity decreasing); a downward sloping trend line indicates a decrease in Avg DOM (sales velocity increasing); and a flat trend line indicates that there has been very little change in the Avg DOM (sales velocity is stable).

Assuming makes us all look like idiots.

Slapping the trigger versus pressing. make sure your assumptions are true when relating to anothers intent. Ask before beating on your chest. your profiling might be wrong.

Top Producer Systems – GREAT Client Centered Product

Market Snapshot coupled with the Community informational widget – is paramount for us to give our Clients the best and most up to date information related to all of their Real Estate Inquires.

Don’t be the agent that is constantly selling your self – you want to give your clients Factual Data, Market Data Rules and the Market Snapshot by Top Producer Systems does a great job.

Here is a view how we at The Paris911 Team at RE/MAX have utilized this product and been able to deliver it to the masses.  It works well and our Clients pass it along to their friends and families so they can get the Intel and Recon on their homes or prospective Real Estate purchases.

School comparisons – Home Data, Restaurants and Community Information by Zip Code is also a big hit and I have attached that to the bottoms of each “community and city specific” snapshot!

It matters not if you are working with his team or not – what matters is you getting the most accurate Mortgage Market Data.
