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 Dallas Georgia homes priced between $175,000 to $200,00.
Statistically homes that sell in 88 days or less sell at or slightly below list price, this means the homeowner listed the home at the correct price. Homes in the $175K-200K price range that are on the market over 88 days have a 73.9% chance of not selling at all! This is not where you want to be when selling, it means you will begin to believe you will not get a buyer. It also means you will realize you must drastically lower your price.
