Absorption rate is average number of homes sold per month over a particular period of time. The months to sell is a reflection of the absorption rate, how long it will take to sell the current inventory at the said absorption rate. This is a very interesting way to look at the market, as of today:
Average List Price $520,612 Days on the market 117
Median List Price $399,900 Days on the market 79
