Dear valued clients, colleagues and friends:
As we close the book on 2020, many real estate industry observers will look back at the
housing market data and see the historic volatility that took place during the year. While a
number of major markets have not recovered to pre-pandemic levels, Palm Beach County is
experiencing housing activity at a level not seen in more than a decade.
Within this update you will find the year-end 2020 housing market information for Palm
Beach County. This includes detailed countywide and city level market statistics for sale
transactions of both single-family homes and condominium / townhouse properties.
The local market started out strong with the number of single-family sale transactions in
January 2020 up by more than 29%. When the market turned at the onset of the COVID
pandemic, April and May saw single-family sale transactions decline by more than 30% and
45% (year-over-year), respectively.
At the end of the third quarter, the market started to change in a meaningful way. Due to pent
up demand as well as in-migration from out-of-state buyers, the month of September marked a
substantial turnaround with monthly sale transactions increasing by more than 20% year-over-
year. That trend has continued throughout the entire fourth quarter as the number of housing
transactions across all types of homes have exceeded their 2019 results.
With the rollout of a COVID vaccine and the possibility of an improving economic
environment, it’s anticipated that these sales trends will continue during 2021. It should be
noted, however, that the current inventory level is extraordinarily low. While this can derail the
continued gain in the number of sales transactions, it will maintain the growth in home values
(barring any significant outlying events).
Thank you for allowing us to continue to service your real estate needs. If you have any
questions on the market data, Amy and I would be very happy to discuss.
Sincerely,
Chris Losquadro

Economists' note : Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most
important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When
comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we
recommend comparing the percent changes in sales rather than the
number of sales. Closed Sales (and many other market metrics) are
affected by seasonal cycles, so actual trends are more accurately
represented by year-over-year changes (i.e. comparing a month's sales
to the amount of sales in the same month in the previous year), rather
than changes from one month to the next.

Economists' note : This statistic is simply another way of viewing
Cash Sales. The remaining percentages of Closed Sales (i.e. those not
paid fully in cash) each month involved some sort of financing, such as
mortgages, owner/seller financing, assumed loans, etc.
Economists' note : Cash Sales can be a useful indicator of the extent to
which investors are participating in the market. Why? Investors are
far more likely to have the funds to purchase a home available up front,
whereas the typical homebuyer requires a mortgage or some other
form of financing. There are, of course, many possible exceptions, so
this statistic should be interpreted with care.

Economists' note : Median Sale Price is our preferred summary
statistic for price activity because, unlike Average Sale Price, Median
Sale Price is not sensitive to high sale prices for small numbers of
homes that may not be characteristic of the market area. Keep in mind
that median price trends over time are not always solely caused by
changes in the general value of local real estate. Median sale price only
reflects the values of the homes that sold each month, and the mix of
the types of homes that sell can change over time.
Economists' note : Usually, we prefer Median Sale Price over Average
Sale Price as a summary statistic for home prices. However, Average
Sale Price does have its uses—particularly when it is analyzed
alongside the Median Sale Price. For one, the relative difference
between the two statistics can provide some insight into the market for
higher-end homes in an area.January 2020 $361,821 6.3%

Economists' note : The Median Percent of Original List Price Received
is useful as an indicator of market recovery, since it typically rises as
buyers realize that the market may be moving away from them and
they need to match the selling price (or better it) in order to get a
contract on the house. This is usually the last measure to indicate a
market has shifted from down to up, so it is what we would call a
lagging indicator.
Economists' note : Dollar Volume is simply the sum of all sale prices
in a given time period, and can quickly be calculated by multiplying
Closed Sales by Average Sale Price. It is a strong indicator of the health
of the real estate industry in a market, and is of particular interest to
real estate professionals, investors, analysts, and government agencies.
Potential home sellers and home buyers, on the other hand, will likely
be better served by paying attention to trends in the two components
of Dollar Volume (i.e. sales and prices) individually.

Economists' note : Time to Sale is a measure of the length of the home
selling process, calculated as the number of days between the initial
listing of a property and the closing of the sale. Median Time to Sale is
the amount of time the "middle" property selling this month was on
the market. That is, 50% of homes selling this month took less time to
sell, and 50% of homes took more time to sell. Median Time to Sale
gives a more accurate picture than Average Time to Sale, which can be
skewed upward by small numbers of properties taking an abnormally
long time to sell.
Economists' note : Like Time to Sale, Time to Contract is a measure of
the length of the home selling process calculated for sales which closed
during the month. The difference is that Time to Contract measures
the number of days between the initial listing of a property and the
signing of the contract which eventually led to the closing of the sale.
When the gap between Median Time to Contract and Median Time to
Sale grows, it is usually a sign of longer closing times and/or declining
numbers of cash sales.

Produced by Florida Realtors® with data provided by Florida's multiple listing services. Statistics for each month compiled from MLS feeds on the 15th day of the following month.
Data released on Friday, January 22, 2021. Next data release is Friday, February 19, 2021.
Economists' note : New Listings tend to rise in delayed response to
increasing prices, so they are often seen as a lagging indicator of
market health. As prices rise, potential sellers raise their estimations
of value—and in the most recent cycle, rising prices have freed up
many potential sellers who were previously underwater on their
mortgages. Note that in our calculations, we take care to not include
properties that were recently taken off the market and quickly relisted,
since these are not really new listings.
Economists' note : Because of the typical length of time it takes for a
sale to close, economists consider Pending Sales to be a decent
indicator of potential future Closed Sales. It is important to bear in
mind, however, that not all Pending Sales will be closed successfully.
So, the effectiveness of Pending Sales as a future indicator of Closed
Sales is susceptible to changes in market conditions such as the
availability of financing for homebuyers and the inventory of
distressed properties for sale.

New ListingsThe number of properties put onto the market during the month
Produced by Florida Realtors® with data provided by Florida's multiple listing services. Statistics for each month compiled from MLS feeds on the 15th day of the following month.
Data released on Friday, January 22, 2021. Next data release is Friday, February 19, 2021.
Economists' note : There are a number of ways to define and calculate
Inventory. Our method is to simply count the number of active listings
on the last day of the month, and hold this number to compare with the
same month the following year. Inventory rises when New Listings are
outpacing the number of listings that go off-market (regardless of
whether they actually sell). Likewise, it falls when New Listings aren't
keeping up with the rate at which homes are going off-market.
Economists' note : MSI is a useful indicator of market conditions. The
benchmark for a balanced market (favoring neither buyer nor seller) is
5.5 months of inventory. Anything higher is traditionally a buyers'
market, and anything lower is a sellers' market. There is no single
accepted way of calculating MSI. A common method is to divide
current Inventory by the most recent month's Closed Sales count, but
this count is a usually poor predictor of future Closed Sales due to
seasonal cycles. To eliminate seasonal effects, we use the 12-month
average of monthly Closed Sales instead.

Economists' note : Like Time to Sale, Time to Contract is a measure of
the length of the home selling process calculated for sales which closed
during the month. The difference is that Time to Contract measures
the number of days between the initial listing of a property and the
signing of the contract which eventually led to the closing of the sale.
When the gap between Median Time to Contract and Median Time to
Sale grows, it is usually a sign of longer closing times and/or declining
numbers of cash sales.

Economists' note: Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most
important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When
comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we
recommend comparing the percent changes in sales rather than the
number of sales. Closed Sales (and many other market metrics) are
affected by seasonal cycles, so actual trends are more accurately
represented by year-over-year changes (i.e. comparing a month's sales
to the amount of sales in the same month in the previous year), rather
than changes from one month to the next.

Economists' note : This statistic is simply another way of viewing
Cash Sales. The remaining percentages of Closed Sales (i.e. those not
paid fully in cash) each month involved some sort of financing, such as
mortgages, owner/seller financing, assumed loans, etc.
Economists' note : Cash Sales can be a useful indicator of the extent to
which investors are participating in the market. Why? Investors are
far more likely to have the funds to purchase a home available up front,
whereas the typical homebuyer requires a mortgage or some other
form of financing. There are, of course, many possible exceptions, so
this statistic should be interpreted with care.

Economists' note : Median Sale Price is our preferred summary
statistic for price activity because, unlike Average Sale Price, Median
Sale Price is not sensitive to high sale prices for small numbers of
homes that may not be characteristic of the market area. Keep in mind
that median price trends over time are not always solely caused by
changes in the general value of local real estate. Median sale price only
reflects the values of the homes that sold each month, and the mix of
the types of homes that sell can change over time.
Economists' note : Usually, we prefer Median Sale Price over Average
Sale Price as a summary statistic for home prices. However, Average
Sale Price does have its uses—particularly when it is analyzed
alongside the Median Sale Price. For one, the relative difference
between the two statistics can provide some insight into the market for
higher-end homes in an area.January 2020 $295,527 7.5%

Economists' note : The Median Percent of Original List Price Received
is useful as an indicator of market recovery, since it typically rises as
buyers realize that the market may be moving away from them and
they need to match the selling price (or better it) in order to get a
contract on the house. This is usually the last measure to indicate a
market has shifted from down to up, so it is what we would call a
lagging indicator.
Economists' note : Dollar Volume is simply the sum of all sale prices
in a given time period, and can quickly be calculated by multiplying
Closed Sales by Average Sale Price. It is a strong indicator of the health
of the real estate industry in a market, and is of particular interest to
real estate professionals, investors, analysts, and government agencies.
Potential home sellers and home buyers, on the other hand, will likely
be better served by paying attention to trends in the two components
of Dollar Volume (i.e. sales and prices) individually.

December 2019 84 Days 3.7%
Economists' note : Time to Sale is a measure of the length of the home
selling process, calculated as the number of days between the initial
listing of a property and the closing of the sale. Median Time to Sale is
the amount of time the "middle" property selling this month was on
the market. That is, 50% of homes selling this month took less time to
sell, and 50% of homes took more time to sell. Median Time to Sale
gives a more accurate picture than Average Time to Sale, which can be
skewed upward by small numbers of properties taking an abnormally
long time to sell.
Economists' note : Like Time to Sale, Time to Contract is a measure of
the length of the home selling process calculated for sales which closed
during the month. The difference is that Time to Contract measures
the number of days between the initial listing of a property and the
signing of the contract which eventually led to the closing of the sale.
When the gap between Median Time to Contract and Median Time to
Sale grows, it is usually a sign of longer closing times and/or declining
numbers of cash sales.

Economists' note : New Listings tend to rise in delayed response to
increasing prices, so they are often seen as a lagging indicator of
market health. As prices rise, potential sellers raise their estimations
of value—and in the most recent cycle, rising prices have freed up
many potential sellers who were previously underwater on their
mortgages. Note that in our calculations, we take care to not include
properties that were recently taken off the market and quickly relisted,
since these are not really new listings.
Economists' note : Because of the typical length of time it takes for a
sale to close, economists consider Pending Sales to be a decent
indicator of potential future Closed Sales. It is important to bear in
mind, however, that not all Pending Sales will be closed successfully.
So, the effectiveness of Pending Sales as a future indicator of Closed
Sales is susceptible to changes in market conditions such as the
availability of financing for homebuyers and the inventory of
distressed properties for sale.

Economists' note : There are a number of ways to define and calculate
Inventory. Our method is to simply count the number of active listings
on the last day of the month, and hold this number to compare with the
same month the following year. Inventory rises when New Listings are
outpacing the number of listings that go off-market (regardless of
whether they actually sell). Likewise, it falls when New Listings aren't
keeping up with the rate at which homes are going off-market.
Economists' note : MSI is a useful indicator of market conditions. The
benchmark for a balanced market (favoring neither buyer nor seller) is
5.5 months of inventory. Anything higher is traditionally a buyers'
market, and anything lower is a sellers' market. There is no single
accepted way of calculating MSI. A common method is to divide
current Inventory by the most recent month's Closed Sales count, but
this count is a usually poor predictor of future Closed Sales due to
seasonal cycles. To eliminate seasonal effects, we use the 12-month
average of monthly Closed Sales instead.

Economists' note: Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most
important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When
comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we
recommend comparing the percent changes in sales rather than the
number of sales. Closed Sales (and many other market metrics) are
affected by seasonal cycles, so actual trends are more accurately
represented by year-over-year changes (i.e. comparing a month's sales
to the amount of sales in the same month in the previous year), rather
than changes from one month to the next.

Economists' note: New Listings tend to rise in delayed response to
increasing prices, so they are often seen as a lagging indicator of
market health. As prices rise, potential sellers raise their estimations
of value—and in the most recent cycle, rising prices have freed up
many potential sellers who were previously underwater on their
mortgages. Note that in our calculations, we take care to not include
properties that were recently taken off the market and quickly relisted,
since these are not really new listings.

Economists' note : There are a number of ways to define and calculate
Inventory. Our method is to simply count the number of active listings
on the last day of the month, and hold this number to compare with the
same month the following year. Inventory rises when New Listings are
outpacing the number of listings that go off-market (regardless of
whether they actually sell). Likewise, it falls when New Listings aren't
keeping up with the rate at which homes are going off-market.

Economists' note : Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most
important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When
comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we
recommend comparing the percent changes in sales rather than the
number of sales. Closed Sales (and many other market metrics) are
affected by seasonal cycles, so actual trends are more accurately
represented by year-over-year changes (i.e. comparing a month's sales
to the amount of sales in the same month in the previous year), rather
than changes from one month to the next.

Economists' note : This statistic is simply another way of viewing
Cash Sales. The remaining percentages of Closed Sales (i.e. those not
paid fully in cash) each month involved some sort of financing, such as
mortgages, owner/seller financing, assumed loans, etc.
Economists' note : Cash Sales can be a useful indicator of the extent to
which investors are participating in the market. Why? Investors are
far more likely to have the funds to purchase a home available up front,
whereas the typical homebuyer requires a mortgage or some other
form of financing. There are, of course, many possible exceptions, so
this statistic should be interpreted with care.

Economists' note : Median Sale Price is our preferred summary
statistic for price activity because, unlike Average Sale Price, Median
Sale Price is not sensitive to high sale prices for small numbers of
homes that may not be characteristic of the market area. Keep in mind
that median price trends over time are not always solely caused by
changes in the general value of local real estate. Median sale price only
reflects the values of the homes that sold each month, and the mix of
the types of homes that sell can change over time.
Economists' note : Usually, we prefer Median Sale Price over Average
Sale Price as a summary statistic for home prices. However, Average
Sale Price does have its uses—particularly when it is analyzed
alongside the Median Sale Price. For one, the relative difference
between the two statistics can provide some insight into the market for
higher-end homes in an area.January 2020 $609,770 8.0%

Economists' note : The Median Percent of Original List Price Received
is useful as an indicator of market recovery, since it typically rises as
buyers realize that the market may be moving away from them and
they need to match the selling price (or better it) in order to get a
contract on the house. This is usually the last measure to indicate a
market has shifted from down to up, so it is what we would call a
lagging indicator.
Economists' note : Dollar Volume is simply the sum of all sale prices
in a given time period, and can quickly be calculated by multiplying
Closed Sales by Average Sale Price. It is a strong indicator of the health
of the real estate industry in a market, and is of particular interest to
real estate professionals, investors, analysts, and government agencies.
Potential home sellers and home buyers, on the other hand, will likely
be better served by paying attention to trends in the two components
of Dollar Volume (i.e. sales and prices) individually.

Economists' note : Time to Sale is a measure of the length of the home
selling process, calculated as the number of days between the initial
listing of a property and the closing of the sale. Median Time to Sale is
the amount of time the "middle" property selling this month was on
the market. That is, 50% of homes selling this month took less time to
sell, and 50% of homes took more time to sell. Median Time to Sale
gives a more accurate picture than Average Time to Sale, which can be
skewed upward by small numbers of properties taking an abnormally
long time to sell.
Economists' note : Like Time to Sale, Time to Contract is a measure of
the length of the home selling process calculated for sales which closed
during the month. The difference is that Time to Contract measures
the number of days between the initial listing of a property and the
signing of the contract which eventually led to the closing of the sale.
When the gap between Median Time to Contract and Median Time to
Sale grows, it is usually a sign of longer closing times and/or declining
numbers of cash sales.

Median Time to SaleThe median number of days between the listing date and closing date for all Closed Sales during the month
Produced by Florida Realtors® with data provided by Florida's multiple listing services. Statistics for each month compiled from MLS feeds on the 15th day of the following month.
Data released on Friday, January 22, 2021. Next data release is Friday, February 19, 2021.
Economists' note : New Listings tend to rise in delayed response to
increasing prices, so they are often seen as a lagging indicator of
market health. As prices rise, potential sellers raise their estimations
of value—and in the most recent cycle, rising prices have freed up
many potential sellers who were previously underwater on their
mortgages. Note that in our calculations, we take care to not include
properties that were recently taken off the market and quickly relisted,
since these are not really new listings.
Economists' note : Because of the typical length of time it takes for a
sale to close, economists consider Pending Sales to be a decent
indicator of potential future Closed Sales. It is important to bear in
mind, however, that not all Pending Sales will be closed successfully.
So, the effectiveness of Pending Sales as a future indicator of Closed
Sales is susceptible to changes in market conditions such as the
availability of financing for homebuyers and the inventory of
distressed properties for sale.

New ListingsThe number of properties put onto the market during the month
Produced by Florida Realtors® with data provided by Florida's multiple listing services. Statistics for each month compiled from MLS feeds on the 15th day of the following month.
Data released on Friday, January 22, 2021. Next data release is Friday, February 19, 2021.
Economists' note : There are a number of ways to define and calculate
Inventory. Our method is to simply count the number of active listings
on the last day of the month, and hold this number to compare with the
same month the following year. Inventory rises when New Listings are
outpacing the number of listings that go off-market (regardless of
whether they actually sell). Likewise, it falls when New Listings aren't
keeping up with the rate at which homes are going off-market.
Economists' note : MSI is a useful indicator of market conditions. The
benchmark for a balanced market (favoring neither buyer nor seller) is
5.5 months of inventory. Anything higher is traditionally a buyers'
market, and anything lower is a sellers' market. There is no single
accepted way of calculating MSI. A common method is to divide
current Inventory by the most recent month's Closed Sales count, but
this count is a usually poor predictor of future Closed Sales due to
seasonal cycles. To eliminate seasonal effects, we use the 12-month
average of monthly Closed Sales instead.

Economists' note : Like Time to Sale, Time to Contract is a measure of
the length of the home selling process calculated for sales which closed
during the month. The difference is that Time to Contract measures
the number of days between the initial listing of a property and the
signing of the contract which eventually led to the closing of the sale.
When the gap between Median Time to Contract and Median Time to
Sale grows, it is usually a sign of longer closing times and/or declining
numbers of cash sales.

Economists' note: Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most
important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When
comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we
recommend comparing the percent changes in sales rather than the
number of sales. Closed Sales (and many other market metrics) are
affected by seasonal cycles, so actual trends are more accurately
represented by year-over-year changes (i.e. comparing a month's sales
to the amount of sales in the same month in the previous year), rather
than changes from one month to the next.

Economists' note : This statistic is simply another way of viewing
Cash Sales. The remaining percentages of Closed Sales (i.e. those not
paid fully in cash) each month involved some sort of financing, such as
mortgages, owner/seller financing, assumed loans, etc.
Economists' note : Cash Sales can be a useful indicator of the extent to
which investors are participating in the market. Why? Investors are
far more likely to have the funds to purchase a home available up front,
whereas the typical homebuyer requires a mortgage or some other
form of financing. There are, of course, many possible exceptions, so
this statistic should be interpreted with care.

Economists' note : Median Sale Price is our preferred summary
statistic for price activity because, unlike Average Sale Price, Median
Sale Price is not sensitive to high sale prices for small numbers of
homes that may not be characteristic of the market area. Keep in mind
that median price trends over time are not always solely caused by
changes in the general value of local real estate. Median sale price only
reflects the values of the homes that sold each month, and the mix of
the types of homes that sell can change over time.
Economists' note : Usually, we prefer Median Sale Price over Average
Sale Price as a summary statistic for home prices. However, Average
Sale Price does have its uses—particularly when it is analyzed
alongside the Median Sale Price. For one, the relative difference
between the two statistics can provide some insight into the market for
higher-end homes in an area.January 2020 $332,928 22.6%

Economists' note : The Median Percent of Original List Price Received
is useful as an indicator of market recovery, since it typically rises as
buyers realize that the market may be moving away from them and
they need to match the selling price (or better it) in order to get a
contract on the house. This is usually the last measure to indicate a
market has shifted from down to up, so it is what we would call a
lagging indicator.
Economists' note : Dollar Volume is simply the sum of all sale prices
in a given time period, and can quickly be calculated by multiplying
Closed Sales by Average Sale Price. It is a strong indicator of the health
of the real estate industry in a market, and is of particular interest to
real estate professionals, investors, analysts, and government agencies.
Potential home sellers and home buyers, on the other hand, will likely
be better served by paying attention to trends in the two components
of Dollar Volume (i.e. sales and prices) individually.

Economists' note : Time to Sale is a measure of the length of the home
selling process, calculated as the number of days between the initial
listing of a property and the closing of the sale. Median Time to Sale is
the amount of time the "middle" property selling this month was on
the market. That is, 50% of homes selling this month took less time to
sell, and 50% of homes took more time to sell. Median Time to Sale
gives a more accurate picture than Average Time to Sale, which can be
skewed upward by small numbers of properties taking an abnormally
long time to sell.
Economists' note : Like Time to Sale, Time to Contract is a measure of
the length of the home selling process calculated for sales which closed
during the month. The difference is that Time to Contract measures
the number of days between the initial listing of a property and the
signing of the contract which eventually led to the closing of the sale.
When the gap between Median Time to Contract and Median Time to
Sale grows, it is usually a sign of longer closing times and/or declining
numbers of cash sales.

Economists' note : New Listings tend to rise in delayed response to
increasing prices, so they are often seen as a lagging indicator of
market health. As prices rise, potential sellers raise their estimations
of value—and in the most recent cycle, rising prices have freed up
many potential sellers who were previously underwater on their
mortgages. Note that in our calculations, we take care to not include
properties that were recently taken off the market and quickly relisted,
since these are not really new listings.
Economists' note : Because of the typical length of time it takes for a
sale to close, economists consider Pending Sales to be a decent
indicator of potential future Closed Sales. It is important to bear in
mind, however, that not all Pending Sales will be closed successfully.
So, the effectiveness of Pending Sales as a future indicator of Closed
Sales is susceptible to changes in market conditions such as the
availability of financing for homebuyers and the inventory of
distressed properties for sale.

New ListingsThe number of properties put onto the market during the month
Produced by Florida Realtors® with data provided by Florida's multiple listing services. Statistics for each month compiled from MLS feeds on the 15th day of the following month.
Data released on Friday, January 22, 2021. Next data release is Friday, February 19, 2021.
Economists' note : There are a number of ways to define and calculate
Inventory. Our method is to simply count the number of active listings
on the last day of the month, and hold this number to compare with the
same month the following year. Inventory rises when New Listings are
outpacing the number of listings that go off-market (regardless of
whether they actually sell). Likewise, it falls when New Listings aren't
keeping up with the rate at which homes are going off-market.
Economists' note : MSI is a useful indicator of market conditions. The
benchmark for a balanced market (favoring neither buyer nor seller) is
5.5 months of inventory. Anything higher is traditionally a buyers'
market, and anything lower is a sellers' market. There is no single
accepted way of calculating MSI. A common method is to divide
current Inventory by the most recent month's Closed Sales count, but
this count is a usually poor predictor of future Closed Sales due to
seasonal cycles. To eliminate seasonal effects, we use the 12-month
average of monthly Closed Sales instead.

the number of days between the initial listing of a property and the

Economists' note: Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most
important—indicators for the residential real estate market. When
comparing Closed Sales across markets of different sizes, we
recommend comparing the percent changes in sales rather than the
number of sales. Closed Sales (and many other market metrics) are
affected by seasonal cycles, so actual trends are more accurately
represented by year-over-year changes (i.e. comparing a month's sales
to the amount of sales in the same month in the previous year), rather
than changes from one month to the next.

Economists' note : There are a number of ways to define and calculate
Inventory. Our method is to simply count the number of active listings
on the last day of the month, and hold this number to compare with the
same month the following year. Inventory rises when New Listings are
outpacing the number of listings that go off-market (regardless of
whether they actually sell). Likewise, it falls when New Listings aren't
keeping up with the rate at which homes are going off-market.

Economists' note: New Listings tend to rise in delayed response to
increasing prices, so they are often seen as a lagging indicator of
market health. As prices rise, potential sellers raise their estimations
of value—and in the most recent cycle, rising prices have freed up
many potential sellers who were previously underwater on their
mortgages. Note that in our calculations, we take care to not include
properties that were recently taken off the market and quickly relisted,
since these are not really new listings.
