The absorption trend, which shows the number of months it would take to sell the entire inventory at the same pace, came in at 3.83 months for the last three months. This is the SEVENTH month in a row in seller’s market territory in the trend analysis.

This absorption rate is calculated on all price points. If you are selling your home, your agent should calculate the absorption rate trend for your price point to get a more accurate analysis. 

While the December results were positive as compared to December 2011 results, there is a glaring drop in sales from November to December 2012. So, let’s go back to that very high number of sales in November.

Many of the end of October closings were affected by superstorm Sandy and the subsequent power outages causing business delays. Additionally, some properties required an additional appraisal prior to closing to verify property integrity. Thus, many end of the originally scheduled October closings were pushed into November.
