Market Summary Report

The Market Summary report shows the state of your market for a set time period. To run the report, click Market Summary under Statistics on the menu.

At the top of the report, graphs illustrate trends in the Number of Listings, Listing Prices, Absorption Rate, Sold to List Ratio, Days on Market, and Price Volume. The tables at the bottom of the report contain more detailed numbers that support the graphs at the top.

To change the parameters of a report, including date, property type, and location, click Customize and select New Location.

Set a month and year for the report and select a property type. In the Location field, enter a city, county, postal code, or other location. Double-click your selection or press Enter. Click Search to generate the report with the new criteria.

Click Previous Locations in the Customize dropdown list to see the last 10 market searches for the currently logged in user. Click the star icon next to a search to mark it as a favorite and save it for future use.

Marking a search as a favorite will move that search to Favorite Locations in the Customize dropdown list, where you can access it for future use.

You also can customize the lines that appear on Listing Charts. Click the wrench icon in the upper right corner of a chart to customize the data that appears.

Customization options depend on the chart. For example, in the Number of Listings chart, you can select which listing statuses to display.

For example, if you have chosen to display only active and sold listings on the Number of Listings graph, Export data displayed on page would export only that data, while Export all downloaded data would also include new and pended listings.

The following explains how the numbers are calculated in the Market Summary Report:

Active listings: How many listings were for sale during each month. The number of active listings is a "snapshot" of active listings on the 15th of the month. Rather than showing the number of all listings that were active at any time during the month, this chart displays a representation of the number of listings that were active on one day. However, the number of actives is not static and depends on when the report is run. A trend upward or downward from month to month can be established by using the same day of every month.

New listings: How many properties were put on the market during each month. It is the total number of listings newly added to the MLS system during the month. (All listings whose Listing Contract Date falls within that particular month.)

Sold listings: The total number of listings whose sales contracts were completed, or closed, during the month.
