Just like any other product that is bought and sold, real estate is affected by supply and demand. By determining the absorption rate we can tell what you should realistically expect to pay for your home purchase. Let's look at the below example, it is a sample of homes priced between $125,000 to $150,000.
Statistically homes that don't sell 88 days or less sell at or slightly below list price. Homes in the $125K-150K price range that are on the market longer than 88 days have a 73.1% chance of not selling at all! These are the homes you want to focus your search on. These sellers are beginning to believe they are not going to sell. They are also getting realistic on their price expectations.
