Current Market Conditions

For those of us that like to see graphs, these are really neat... and they tell us where the market is and -hopefully- gives us an idea of where it is going.

Some Data below comes from the M.L.S., some from C.S.S.
Of course, this information is deemed reliable... but not Guaranteed

I'm going to try and update these on a regular basis --hopefully almost daily, I may get a little lazy on Sundays :-)

The graph above shows the Inventory and the number of sales. It's a graph of the closed homes for a given month (blue line) and a graph of the number of "Active" listings in red. NOTE that the number of actives is divided by 4 in order to fit nicely in the graph.
So when the lines cross it -generally speaking- means that 1 out of 4 homes sold the previous month.

This graph simply "zooms" in on the "Actives" above. Showing a bit more detail.

This graph shows the number of homes that have gone Under Contract on a daily basis.
This really gives a good measure of what the market is doing "right now". Note however that the last few data points are low because agents do not immediately update the MLS when a home goes under contract.

This one shows the number of homes that have gone Under Contract on a weekly basis. Don't trust the last point too much, if the graph was created early on a Tuesday, it only includes one day worth of data.
It is also a good measure of current market activity and without as much "noise" as the previous graph. Note again that the last few data points are low because agents do not immediately update the MLS when a home goes under contract.

This one shows the number of showings per week for area 2 (North Raleigh).

This one answers the question everyone's been asking... How does all this affect the price of my home?
Well, this last graph is the Price per Heated SqFt for all homes in Wake County between 2,000 and 4,500 Heated SqFt. Do not trust the last point!!! Remember, most closings take place near the end of the month.

This one is also interesting. It is the ratio of AskingPrice to SoldPrice. One thing to note is that it does not include seller paid closing costs.
