InsIght guIdanceDesigned to give you a quick, complete overview of both current and past market conditions, this South Bay Market Insight report covers Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, El Segundo and Torrance.
First, we examine Year Over Year statistics, compiled from carefully collected sales data. Percent change—which was calculated by subtracting past value from current value, and dividing that product by past value—gives you a quick snapshot of how each micro-market has improved or worsened over the past year for that particular metric.
Next, the Yearly Median Price graph tracks the median price of properties for each month over the past year. The median price is not the same as average price; it is the price of the property that falls in the middle of the total number of properties for sale in that particular micro-market.
Finally, the Key Stats section illustrates Median Sales Price, Average Sales Price of Closed Sales, Listings for Sale, Listings Under Contract, and Properties Sold.
On the next page you will find an explanation of how each value was determined.
MEDIAN PRICE:Not to be confused with Average Price, Median Price is the price of the property that falls in the middle of the total number of properties for sale in that particular micro-market. Extremely high and extremely low prices do not affect the median the way they do the average.
AVERAGE PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT:Found by taking the price of each property and dividing that by its square footage, then finding the average for all properties sold in the area that month..
PROPERTIES SOLD:The number of properties that closed escrow and changed ownership during the month.
PROPERTIES UNDER CONTRACT:The number of properties that are in escrow awaiting sale.
PROPERTIES FOR SALE:The number of properties that are for sale on the market.
DAYS ON MARKET (CLOSED SALES)The average number of days that properties were on the market, from date of initial listing to date they entered escrow.
MONTHS SUPPLY OF INVENTORY:The number of months it would take for all the current homes for sale in that micro-market to sell through if no new
listings were added. This is calculated by dividing the total number of homes for sale in a particular month by the number of homes that sold in that month. Four to five months’ supply is average. A smaller number means there are more buyers than sellers; a larger number means more sellers than buyers.
ABSORPTION RATE (CLOSED SALES)This is the rate at which properties sell. It is found by taking the number of properties sold and dividing it by the total number of properties for sale. This measures the inverse of Monthly Supply of Inventory and represents how much of the current active listings (as a percentage) are being absorbed (sold or pended) each month. The Absorption Rate is presented as a percentage (%) of the current inventory.
PERCENT UNDER CONTRACTThe ratio of properties for sale to properties pending sale.
AVERAGE MEDIAN PRICE:The Average Median Price for the Last 12 Months is sales data from 12 months ending in the identified month
