What is a Real Estate Absorption Rate?
The Absorption Rate for Real Estate is the ability of the real estate market to sell all of the listed houses for sale in a given amount of time.
The number shows the rate at which the inventories of homes for sale are being sold. A declining figure indicates people the inventory is decreasing as more homes are being sold than are coming onto the market. A rising absorption rate implies that there are more homes coming onto the market than there are buyers willing to buy at the market prices.
The ultimate question the absorption rate answer is, "Is the current inventory level shrinking or growing"?
