The Approach:
As with any detailed market analysis, it is essential that we look at past sales activity by price categories in order to understand how the current sales compare to the past sales activity. Additionally, it is important to compare the number of most recent sales to the number of properties on the market. This assists in understanding how the supply/demand ratio has impacted and will continue to impact values, and helps forecast the number of sales that may occur in the future. This information is vital for the development and implementation of marketing and pricing strategies for both sellers and buyers.
