What is Sale to Active?To understand the rate at which properties are selling we look at the sales-to-active
listings ratio. This ratio provides simple approach; for example:
• 10% Sales Ratio means 1 in 10 homes are selling.
• 33% Sales Ratio means 1 in 3 homes are selling.

the market types. In a buyers’ market, the ratio is between 0% and 14%; a balanced
market ratio is 15% to 20%; and a sellers’ market ratio is 21% plus.
