Months of supply is today's 133 listings divided by the 12 month average of about 18 sales per month. 70 of the 214 sales closed at $1 million or more. Seller concessions are seller paid buyer costs, such as closing costs or a rate buydown, as reported on the closed MLS record. Listing success rate is the share of listings that left the market over the past 12 months that closed rather than being cancelled or expiring: 214 closed and 160 cancelled or expired. A listing that was cancelled and relisted counts as cancelled.
