Significance of the Current Inventory and Absorption Rate
Manchester CT Sold Homes from May 31, 2021 to May 31, 2022 converted into an absorption rate give us an approximate length or period of time when the current inventory of 41 units would be depleted. Six Hundred Thirty (630) single family homes were sold within a period of one year.
Given the absorption rate of 52.5 units sold in a month, the Town of Manchester, currently, has less than a month to inventory. This is an emaciated supply of properties. With this inventory, unless demand is curtailed, home prices might increase tremendously.
Absorption Rate: “The rate at which available homes are sold in a specific real estate market during a given time period.” Click on the link for a better explanation of Absorption Rate.
Understanding Mean(numerical Average) and Median:
“The median takes into consideration the middle value of the set of data. However the mean/average takes into consideration all of the values. Therefore high or low values will effect the mean/average. If the mean/average is a lot higher than the median, there is an unusually high value that pulls the average price up. If the mean is a lot lower than the median, there is an unusually low value that pulls the average price down.
In most cases, the reason the median price is used rather than the mean is mainly because it is a more accurate indicator of the market.
