ARLINGTON RESIDENTIAL HOUSING STATS

Median Sales Price: This chart represents the median sales price for residential properties. The median sales price is the value at which half the homes sold for more and half for less, providing a central tendency of the market prices and helping to mitigate the effect of outliers on the average. Homes for Sale: This metric reflects the current inventory of residential properties available for purchase. It gives an indication of the market's supply level and can suggest whether you're in a buyer's or seller's market. A larger inventory may mean more choices for buyers, potentially driving prices down, while a smaller inventory can lead to increased competition and potentially higher prices. Closed Sales: This graph tracks the number of property transactions that have been completed and closed. It reflects the volume of properties sold within a period, without accounting for pending sales or listings. \
Median Days on Market: This figure indicates the median number of days listings have been active before a sale is closed. It gives an idea of how quickly properties are selling. A lower number suggests a faster-moving market, while a higher number indicates a slower one. Median Percent of Last Original Price: This statistic represents the median ratio between the sales price and the last listed original price of homes in the market. A value of 100% indicates homes are selling for their listed price. Values above 100% suggest that homes are selling for more than the list price, often due to competitive bidding. Values below 100% indicate homes are selling for less than the list price, which may suggest a buyer's market or that homes were initially overpriced. This metric can help both sellers set realistic pricing and buyers understand the offer they might need to make. Showings Per Listing: This statistic shows the average number of showings per listing. A 'showing' is when a potential buyer views a property. More showings generally indicate higher interest in the market or property, suggesting a potential for quicker sales cycles.
