We can develop a report for any neighborhood in California.


Purpose:

The primary function of this report is to give an impression of Supply and Demand

SUPPLY is defined herein as the number of Active Listings at the Beginning of a month, plus the number of New Listings generated during the month.  This sum totals the Total for Sale during the month.  Effectively these are the 'willing' sellers. 

DEMAND is defined as the number of Contracts Written plus the number of Closings.  Subtract that sum plus any Expired, Canceled or Withdrawn listings from the Total for Sale to produce the Active Listings at the End of Current Month which is effectively the Active at Beginning Of (the next) Month.
