Thanks, James, for your feedback. You’re exactly right. Pricing and condition dictated who ended up in that 12% last month. There are homes selling, but it is the best of the best that sell and it is the homes that are perceived as a value to the buyer.

Hi Debra – You’ve done a great job summarizing the absorption rates in an understandable way. The difficult concept that sellers don’t understand is that there are a lot of factors contributing to the sale of those 12% (as you mentioned in your last post): condition, pricing, timing, infrastructure, staging, competition, etc…ad infinitum.
