Months of inventory (MOI)*

MOI in real estate tells you how long it would take to sell all the current homes on the market at the current sales pace if no new homes were listed. Typically, a MOI of 5+ months indicates a buyer’s market, where homes are selling slowly and there are more homes than available buyers.

24

Days on market (DOM)*

DOM refers to Average Days on Market, which represents how long on average listings remain on the market before selling. DOM excludes listings that are pulled from the market without selling. A low DOM means it sold quickly, while a high DOM could mean it's overpriced or less in demand.
