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.
The Pending Ratio is the number of homes currently under contract compared to the number of homes available for sale .
This is a very interesting way to look at the market, as of today:

Median List Price $406,200 Days on the market 75
