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. 13.4%

May 2015 47.3% 4.0%

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.

This report describes member activity for the association and is not confined to any specific geographic area.

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 Wednesday, April 20, 2016. Historical data revised on Friday, February 26, 2016. Dollar Volume revised on April 15, 2016. Next data release is Friday, May 20, 2016.

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.April 2015 $137,012 13.0%

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. April 2015 93.8% 1.4%

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.

June 2015 103 Days -9.6%

May 2015 105 Days -8.7%

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.

December 2015 56 Days -23.3%

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.

Data released on Wednesday, April 20, 2016. Historical data revised on Friday, February 26, 2016. Dollar Volume revised on April 15, 2016. Next data release is Friday, May 20, 2016.

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.

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.

This report describes member activity for the association and is not confined to any specific geographic area.

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 Wednesday, April 20, 2016. Historical data revised on Friday, February 26, 2016. Dollar Volume revised on April 15, 2016. Next data release is Friday, May 20, 2016.

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 : 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.

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.April 2015 $47,099 43.4%

This report describes member activity for the association and is not confined to any specific geographic area.

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 Wednesday, April 20, 2016. Historical data revised on Friday, February 26, 2016. Dollar Volume revised on April 15, 2016. Next data release is Friday, May 20, 2016.

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. April 2015 90.8% 12.8%

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.

May 2015 108 Days -10.7%

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.

December 2015 76 Days -11.6%

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.

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.

This report describes member activity for the association and is not confined to any specific geographic area.

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 : 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. -28.0%

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.April 2015 $68,650 -6.2%

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. April 2015 91.9% 0.8%

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.

December 2015 110 Days 54.9%

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.

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.

This report describes member activity for the association and is not confined to any specific geographic area.

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 Wednesday, April 20, 2016. Historical data revised on Friday, February 26, 2016. Dollar Volume revised on April 15, 2016. Next data release is Friday, May 20, 2016.

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 : 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.
