There are several ways to determine the absorption rate. For example you can break it down by how many weeks or months will it take to sell your home in the current market. I'll go with month for this example. I am using information provided through the Cecil County mls for the month of February. During that time period there were 832 homes on the market in Cecil County, MD + 78 properties under contract. You add those two figures together and get 910. There were 51 Cecil County home sales that month. Now take 910 and divide it by 51. This is the rate of absorption in months. Here in Cecil County, MDthe rate of absorption is 17.84 months. That means that in the current market conditions it will take almost 18 months to sell all of the current inventory.
