If you've been wondering whether it's a buyer's market or a seller's market, one of the most important numbers to watch is Months of Inventory (MOI).
Months of Inventory measures how long it would take to sell every home currently on the market if no new listings were added. It's one of the clearest indicators of current market conditions and helps both buyers and sellers make informed decisions.
What Does Months of Inventory Mean?
- Less than 4 months: Generally considered a seller's market, where demand is strong and inventory is limited.
- 4 to 6 months: A more balanced market, with opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
- More than 6 months: Typically a buyer's market, where buyers have more choices and sellers may face increased competition.
