Data Explanations

Knowing how to read and interpret this data is important. Here are explanations of the charts above:

1. Number of Sales - This is the total number of home sales for the month.
2. Median Sale Price - This is the median, or middle, sale price of all homes that sold in a particular month. 
3. Median Days on Market - Days on market is the amount of time it takes for a home to go under contract. The number reported is the median, or middle number, of all homes listed for the month.
4. Months Supply of Inventory - This is a calculation that helps to quantify supply and demand in the housing market. This number tells you how long it would take to burn through the current inventory of homes for sale, if new homes stopped hitting the market completely. This number helps us to understand if the current market is favoring buyers or sellers.

In Conclusion

In both St. Charles and St. Louis County, the data shows us that the market is still favoring home sellers. Time on market continues to trend downward while median sales prices continues to move upward in both counties. Right now, sellers are seeing the advantages of current conditions.
