While it might take one home 330 days to sell, another may sell in

under a week.  Condition, location, amenities, and price play a

large role in a fast sale.  Even though there are many multi-million

dollar homes in this district, the majority of homes are under

$400K with the average sold price under $300K.

 

The Absorption Rate is increasing with fall approaching, 5.1

 months means that it will take 5.1 months for the current inventory

of homes to sell, if selling at the current rate.  This is considered a

normal market. Real estate is selling in the Forest Hills district,

despite what you hear on the nightly news.
