Determining Absorption Rate in Real Estate Using Average Days On Market
Absorption Rate helps determine how long it may take a type of property to sell in a particular area and in a specific time range.

Average days on market (chart 3) will generally decrease as the Absorption Rate (AR) increases.
This AR is determined by dividing the number of active homes for sale in a given month by the number of homes sold in a given month.
A rate above ~18-20% suggests a seller’s market and a rate below ~15-17% signals a buyer’s market.
Absorption Rate = Active Listings/Sold Listings
