the quarter Q4 2016 586 2.1%
Q3 2016 646 2.4%
Q2 2016 655 3.3%
Economists' note : There are a number of ways to define and calculate Q1 2016 647 0.5%
Inventory. Here, we simply count the number of active listings on the Q4 2015 574 -4.8%
last day of the quarter, and hold this number to compare with the same Q3 2015 631 -9.7%
quarter the following year. Inventory rises when New Listings are Q2 2015 634 -12.2%
outpacing the number of listings that go off-market (regardless of Q1 2015 644 -7.7%
whether they actually sell). Likewise, it falls when New Listings aren't Q4 2014 603 -15.2%
keeping up with the rate at which homes are going off-market. Q3 2014 699 2.5%
Q2 2014 722 6.6%

Percent Change

Q2 2017 8.1 -16.5%
An estimate of the number of months it will take to Q1 2017 8.2 -7.9%

Economists' note : MSI is a useful indicator of market conditions. The Q2 2016 9.7 18.3%
benchmark for a balanced market (favoring neither buyer nor seller) is Q1 2016 8.9 -2.2%
5.5 months of inventory. Anything higher is traditionally a buyers' Q4 2015 7.5 -14.8%
market, and anything lower is a sellers' market. There is no single Q3 2015 8.0 -21.6%
accepted way of calculating MSI. A common method is to divide Q2 2015 8.2 -18.0%
current Inventory by the most recent month's Closed Sales count, but Q1 2015 9.1 -3.2%
this count is a usually poor predictor of future Closed Sales due to Q4 2014 8.8 -9.3%
seasonal cycles. To eliminate seasonal effects, we use the 12-month Q3 2014 10.2 9.7%
average of monthly Closed Sales instead. Q2 2014 10.0 4.2%
