Saline Real Estate and Homes for Sale

The Saline market statistics for October 2008 continue to show improvement!

Each month, I review all of the homes for sale (column 2) in Saline within defined price ranges (column 1), and those homes where the sellers have accepted a sales offer from a buyer (columns 3 & 4 - Percent Pending).  I also review all of the sales in past 30 days in each price range (column 6).  The results for October 2008 are shown in the table below:

Using the data shown above, this month I prepared a chart of the number of months of inventory of homes for sale in Saline.  The number of months of inventory is calculated by taking the total number of homes available for sale (column 2 above) divided by the number of homes which have sold in the past 30 days (column 6 above). 

In the chart above, the blue bars show the number of months of inventory each month in 2007.  The red bars show the number of months of inventory each month so far in 2008.

This chart clearly shows the improvement we see in the Saline real estate market.  Other than back in January, 2008, the level of inventory in 2008 was lower than in the same month in 2007.  The figure for October, 2008 is that we have 15.5 months of homes to be sold.  This compares with 19.1 months of inventory at this same time last year.
