An absorption report is a tool used to determine trends in your real estate market.

  • How many homes are for sale in the area?  Note:  Homes listed with an agent only - For Sale by Owners are not included in these reports.
  • How long is it taking them to sell? 
  • How many have sold in the last 90 days? 
  • What price ranges are selling fastest? 

It is basically a bird’s eye view of the supply and demand in your real estate market and is a way to do a spot check of current market conditions.  Remember, an absorption report is only a snapshot of the current market and the percentages change each time a new listing comes on the market or an existing listing sells.

As always, price is key to getting your home sold quickly.  A poor location or less than perfect condition can be overcome with the appropriate price.  Resist the temptation to price it high and wait for offers!
