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 $537,096 Days on the market 115
Median List Price $409,000 Days on the market 73

| 2,000,000+ | 7 | .1 | 0 | 70.0 | |
| Totals | 527 | 67.1 | 29 | 7.9 |
It still looks like a buyers market under $400.000 as conventional wisdom goes anything less than 6 months inventory is a buyers market.
