How To Calculate Absorption Rate (AR) – What’s Bozeman’s Absorption Rate?

Absorption Rate (AR) indicates how long it takes a Bozeman home (or any property) to sell in a particular area and in a specific time period.

One type of Absorption Rate is calculated in “percentage of all homes” sold each month.

Example: Number Bozeman homes for sale inside and outside city.

This form of Absorption Rate is calculated by dividing the number of active homes for sale in a given month by the number of homes sold in a given month.

(You can use any time period, as long as you adjust the number of homes sold to coincide with that period.)

Absorption Rate as Chance of Selling:

Sold Homes/Available Homes For Sale = 39/158 = 24.7% chance of your Bozeman home selling in one month. (Therefore, it could take about 4 months to sell, 24.7% x 4 = 98.8%.)

A rate above ~18-20% indicates a seller’s market and below ~15-17%, a buyer’s market.

Bozeman, Montana’s AR percentage comes in higher than 18-20%, so we are still in a buyer’s market, but just barely.

A second type of Absorption Rate calculation results in “number of months to sell.”

Absorption Rate as Months To Sell:

Homes For Sale/Sold Homes = 158/39 = 4.05 months to sell a home in Bozeman in early 2023.

Generally, Average Days on Market decreases as the Absorption Rate increases.
