Questions people ask
- What does a median DOM mean?
A median DOM is the midpoint number where half of homes sold faster than this number, and half sold slower. For example, if the median DOM is 60 days, it means that 50% of sales took less time and 50% took more.
- Why do some price ranges have fewer sales?
Higher-priced properties naturally see fewer transactions due to their limited availability and target market size.
- Are these figures reliable for long-term planning?
While the data provides a snapshot of recent activity, it's important to consider broader market trends and consult with a local real estate professional for detailed insights.
