New Milford CT Market Watch and Absorption Rate, Jan 2010

Market Watch New Milford CT, Real Estate Sales New Milford CT

Things seem to be improving in the New Milford CT real estate market! We are busier and the numbers prove it. It is still a buyers market. The absorption rate (how long it will take to sell what is currently on the market) is 14 months. This shows an improvement over last year. I calculated the rate just about a year ago, it was almost 28 months at that time. 6 months is considered a balanced market, under 6 months is a sellers market, over 6 months is a buyers market. We are still in a buyers market here in New Milford, CT.
