Glossary
Cities: GIS boundaries defined by mapping data provider and OpenHouse partner
Maponics.
Home Sales Volume: Aggregate units of single-family and condominium home sales
within GIS boundaries from the relevant Multiple Listing Service historical sales database
with a closing date occurring within a given month.
Price Performance: Original list price subtracted from the final closed price of a
property) compared to the original listed price. For example, if a home lists for $100,000
and sells for $120,000 the price performance is +$20,000, and the home sold for “Over
asking”.
Buyer’s Market: A buyer’s market occurs when the supply (available properties for sale)
exceeds demand (the number of buyers seeking to purchase properties). An absorption
rate of 20% or below is deemed a buyer’s market since homes are selling relatively slowly
and the number of months of supply is high.
Seller’s Market: A seller’s market occurs when demand exceeds supply, or there are
more buyer’s seeking to purchase properties than there are available homes on the
market. An absorption rate of 20% or above is usually deemed a seller’s market since
homes are selling relatively quickly and the number of months of supply is low.
Hottest Streets: The street that has the highest volume of homes active for sale, sold
and newly listed in the last 30 days. Similar to Buyer’s/Seller’s market analysis, but at the
street level.
Days on Market: Days between Original Listing Date and Closing Date, as defined by
local Multiple Listing Service.
Our Most Popular Collections: Collections that have been Liked or Shared most often
by OpenHouse users in a given period of time.
Data Source: Data from 18 Multiple Listing Services spanning 35 metropolitan areas.
