Active Listings: This is the total number of listings that were for sale any given point during the month.

Under Contract: This is the total number of listings that accepted an offer to purchase during the month.

Under Contract (%): This is the 'Under Contract' column represented as a percentage of the county.

Pending Ratio: this a ratio calculated using a snapshot taken at "11:59pm on the last day of the month." It's used to show a price range's competitiveness by comparing the number of listings under contract to the total number of listings on the market at the time the snapshot was taken (active + under contract).

Months of inventory represents how long it would take to deplete the current inventory assuming no new homes are put on the market. It's commonly used to determine the health of a particular market.

Between 0-4 months of inventory is considered a seller's market because supply is relatively low, which means that sellers have more control to set terms or raise prices. 5-7 months signals a balanced market - there is a healthy mix of buyers and sellers. 8 or more months of inventory indicates a buyer's market, which means buyers have more negotiating power.
