What Are Your Chances of Selling?

Absorptions Rates are very important in deciding whether to list your home or how to price your home. I did a little research yesterday on my area and this is what I found in the City of Lynchburg, Va.

The criteria I used is Lynchburg, Va., price range $125,000-$180,000, Lynchburg School District for 3 and 6 months.

In the last 6 months 73 Homes have closed in Lynchburg, Va. in this criteria.

The average homes sold per month - 12

Current Active in MLS (Active, Pending, Sold, Withdrawn, Expired) 287

Month Supply of Inventory to be Absorbed IF NO OTHER HOMES COME ON THE MARKET - 24 months

% Probabiiity of Selling - 25%

In the last 3 months 36 Homes have closed in Lynchburg, Va. in this criteria.

The average homes sold per month - 12

Current Active MLS (Active, Pending, Sold, Withdrawn, Expired) - 160

Month Supply of Inventory to be absorbed IF NO OTHER HOMES COME ON THE MARKET - 13 months

7.5 % Chance of selling your home in 30 Days!

What do all these numbers mean? It means that we have more then a 6 months supply of homes on the market which is an unbalanced market. There are not enough buyers to purchase the supply.

What does this mean for a seller? If means you must price your home to sell, stage your home to sell and be patient.
