Market Signal Interpretation
1️⃣ Buyer Demand Strengthened Sharply
The jump in:
• Weekly sales volume
• Faster DOM
• Rising median price
Signals seasonal demand activation — buyers are entering contract aggressively in early June.
2️⃣ Inventory Quality Improved
Week 1 closings were dominated by older stale listings.
Week 2 shows fresh listings clearing quickly, especially in resorts.
That transition is extremely important.
3️⃣ Resorts Are Acting As Leading Indicators
Resort DOM dropping to 35 days median is a classic forward signal that discretionary buyers are re-engaging.
Central Taos typically follows 1–2 weeks later.
DOM vs Discount Curve (Early Pattern)
You asked for this — here's what is already emerging:
• Listings closing under ~60 DOM are clustering near full ask pricing behavior
• Listings over 150 DOM dominate discount-heavy closings
This curve will become much more powerful as you stack more weekly data.
Hot vs Stale Inventory Segmentation
Based on early pattern:
Hot Inventory (≤60 DOM)
• Dominated Week 2
• Higher price stability
• Faster absorption
• Stronger buyer competition
Stale Inventory (150+ DOM)
• Dominated Week 1
• Discount clearing behavior
• Cleanup inventory
Absorption Trendline (Early)
June Week 1 → Week 2 shows:
• Sales velocity accelerating
• Median DOM collapsing
• Resort markets leading the move
This is classic early-summer absorption ramp behavior.
