Understanding Months of Inventory
🟢 Seller's Market
Below 6 months
- 0-2 months: Strong — Severe shortage, bidding wars
- 2.1-4 months: Moderate — Competitive, quick sales
- 4.1-5.9 months: Mild — Slight seller advantage
⚖️ Balanced
~6 months
- 5.8-6.2 months: Balanced — Equal negotiating power
- Stable pricing and normal absorption
Buyer's Market
Above 6 months
- 6.1-8 months: Mild — Buyer negotiation room
- 8.1-10 months: Moderate — Concessions common
- 10.1+ months: Strong — Oversupply
Why 6 Months Matters
Six months of inventory represents a balanced market where supply meets demand. Below 6 months favors sellers (competition for homes), while above 6 months gives buyers more leverage (more choices, room to negotiate).
