Real Estate Market Terms
The following real estate market terms are referenced in real estate market statistics:
Sale Price To Original Price Ratio “SP:OP”
The acronym “SP:OP” stands for “Sale Price to Original Price Ratio” and reflects the final sale price as a percentage of the original list price. When this percentage is above 100% that means the home sold for a higher amount than the original list price.
Days To Offer “DTO”
The term “days to offer” (DTO) refers to the number of days from the original listing date until the date upon which a seller accepts a buyer’s offer to purchase. This represents the most accurate measurement of market speed because it shows the buyer’s true sense of urgency.
Days To Offer vs Days On Market
“Days on market” (DOM) is a term used to measure the number of days from original listing date to the date a property status is changed in MLS to “under agreement”. This status code is highly subjective and used inconsistently; therefore, “days to offer” is the most reliable measurement for market speed.

Average Home Price Cambridge MA
How Is Average and Median Price Calculated?
In order to calculate an average home sale price, divide the total number of homes sold by the total sum of all home sale prices. Find the median sale price by sorting the data from the lowest to highest price, then find the middle value. It is not unusual in our local markets for the average sale price and median sale price to be significantly different.
Why Is Median Home Price Important?
Despite the fact that most media outlets will focus on the average home sale price in news about real estate; the median sale price is also very important. Mortgage underwriters watch median home sale price activity to determine risk for lending in any given market. An underwriter will typically analyze median home sale price activity either by a postal zip code or by the county as a whole.
Changes in the median home price will indicate if the home values are increasing or decreasing. Many factors determine the costs associated with a home mortgage loan. For example, borrowers who purchase a home in a market with decreasing median home sale prices may receive a higher mortgage interest rate. For this reason it is very important to give your mortgage lender the property address before submitting an offer to purchase.
