The absorption rate measures how quickly available inventory is being sold. It is calculated by dividing homes sold in the last 90 days by total homes available (active and pending listings), expressed as a percentage. A rate above 20% indicates a seller's market. Around 15-20% is balanced. Below 15% favors buyers. Rates above 50% reflect a very competitive market where demand significantly outpaces supply. Source: MLSPIN.
