March Months Supply of Homes for Sale
The next graph I like to explain as it isn’t always understandable to the average person looking at these statistics. We are going to look at the Supply of Homes for Sale. The Supply of Homes for Sale is the measure of how many months it would take for the current inventory of homes on the market to sell, given the current pace of home sales. For example, if there are 50 homes on the market and 10 homes selling each month, there is a 5 month supply of homes for sale. (definition supplied by Findwell.com)
If you look at the current graph below you will see that back in 2017 the Months Supply of Homes for Sale in Rochester was 3.8 months and in 2018, it decreased to 2.9 months which was a -23.7 percent drop. In 2019, the Months Supply of Homes for Sale increased to 4.6 months which was a +58.6 percent increase.
