ALL ABOUT SALES ACTIVITY INTENSITY™
Tap to enlarge and zoom
Sales Activity Intensity™ is the measurement of the market intensity created by John L. Scott Real Estate. It’s a scale you’ll find above that looks at what percentage of new listings are going pending in the first 30 days. The higher the Sales Activity Intensity,™ the hotter the real estate market.
Two factors inform Sales Activity Intensity:™ the number of unsold homes on the market, and buyer demand. In the fall and especially over the winter, Sales Activity Intensity™ will increase, as there will be fewer new listings during this period when the backlog of buyers demand remains strong.
Position yourself to create a buyer advantage when competing with other buyers and walk in confidence when making an offer. Your broker associate can consult with you to be up-to-date with current market intensity and pricing, get pre-approved or fully underwritten through a lender, and receive email/text notification of newly listed properties.
