The Role of Absorption Rate and Market Turn Over
Today, we're diving into two pivotal metrics that will change on how you approach your market: Absorption Rate and Market Turnover. Whether you're a seasoned agent or new to the game, understanding these indicators is crucial for making informed decisions in your target communities.
Understanding Absorption Rate and Market Turnover
If terms like 'market turnover' and 'absorption rate' sound unfamiliar, it is about time you got acquainted with them. These metrics are not just numbers; they are your compass in the vast real estate market, guiding you on where to focus your efforts, time, and investments.
What Are These Metrics?
Market Turnover: This indicator reflects the rate at which homes are sold in a community. A high turnover rate suggests a dynamic market with many buying and selling activities, signaling a potentially lucrative area for you as a real estate agent.
Absorption Rate: This rate shows the speed at which available homes are sold in a market during a specific time frame. An absorption rate under 5% indicates a buyer's market, while a higher rate suggests a seller's market.
