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 $527,251 Days on the market 125
Median List Price $399,000 Days on the market 72

It still looks like a buyers market under $400.000 as conventional wisdom goes anything less than 6 months inventory is a buyers market.
