Months of Inventory (MOI) is our go-to metric for a quick and easy understanding of the market dynamics at any level. MOI instantly reveals the time it would take to sell all current inventory at the current sales pace.

Formula

MOI = Active Listings / Properties Sold per Month

Interpreting MOI

MOI condenses complex market dynamics into an easily digestible number. A low MOI signals a seller’s market where sellers hold firm on pricing, while a high MOI suggests a buyer’s market, allowing for buyers to gain negotiating leverage.

When and Where to Use MOI

MOI’s simplicity doesn’t compromise its effectiveness in segment-specific analysis. Calculating MOI for different property types or geographic areas quickly pinpoints strengths and weaknesses.

Real-Time Adaptability

Markets change, and MOI changes with them. As external factors impact real estate, MOI offers a real-time reflection of market adjustments. This adaptability is essential for staying ahead in a dynamic environment.

Investors and homeowners can make quick and informed decisions when they understand MOI. Convinced?
