Exposure, not a forecast

The supplied active sample has a median 106 days on market, with the middle half spanning 76.5 to 263.75 days. Six listings fall in the 0-30-day band, 21 in 31-90, 26 in 91-180, 23 in 181-365, and eight at 366 or more days. Those counts describe listing exposure in this selected export only. They do not establish buyer demand, likelihood of sale, time to contract, or the reason any property remains available. The file name says September 22, while many listing-date-plus-DOM combinations point later; use DOM as supplied rather than attaching a confirmed as-of date.

Why this is not a time-to-sale study

Thirty-one records fall above 180 days, combining the 181–365 and 366-plus groups. Their presence shows that longer exposure exists within the selected active sample. It does not reveal the eventual outcome of those listings or the corresponding distribution among homes that have already sold.

The research retains the reported field instead of recalculating exposure from calendar dates. Listing-date-plus-DOM checks do not agree on a single date for every record, and the export does not document how pauses or other listing events affect the field.

Methodology

  • Source: an MLS export supplied for Doug Leibinger’s research. The analysis uses 84 rows with Status=A and excludes six rows with Status=P; there are no duplicate listing IDs.
  • Use reported Days on Market without recalculating from dates. All 84 values are nonnegative. Bands are inclusive at the displayed endpoints; the final band begins at 366.
  • Medians use the middle ordered value, or the average of the two middle values. Counts may be shown for small categories, but no price, size or fee statistic is published for a group under five. Percentages may not sum to exactly 100% because of rounding.

Limitations

  • This is a selected sample, not a market-wide inventory count or a random sample. No sale prices, appreciation, absorption, causal premiums or forecast are inferred.
  • The filename says September 22, but 13 records have later modification dates. The research does not claim a confirmed September 22 snapshot; publication on September 28 is a separate date.
  • Listing fields are reported information. Availability, property rights, condition, costs and individual source values have not been independently verified for this research.
