correlated to the increase in Original Listing Price. In 2016, homes sold for 81% of Original List Price. This number is up 8 points from 2015. However, after price adjustments, homes sold for 92% of the adjusted listing price; the same as in 2015. These numbers go to show that the Rosemary Beach market is predictable and steady. As of today, Original List Prices are already nearly 2% higher than 2016. With Spring Break right around the corner, we’ll see what the market is willing to bear. 
$1,011.49. If the market copies 2016, this year will increase the average price per home to $3,580,704, and the average price per square foot to $989.72. December closed out the year with an absorption rate at 15 months worth of inventory. It’s not the high for the year, but it is over the 2016 average absorption rate for Rosemary Beach homes (11.74 months). The absorption rate means, that no other listings hit the market, and sales remain constant, it would take X number of months to sell through all the homes listed. 
This past year has been great for 
Days on Market (CDOM) for the listed properties is 187 days, which is up from 133 days in 2016. December’s market saturation had an absorption rate of 6 months. Which means, if no more listings are added, the current inventory will sell out in about six months. The absorption rate finished out the year low after it’s peek in September of 11.33 months. It’s historically normal for the C
DOM to increase around the holidays, and progressively decrease over the spring and summer months. The number of Active Listings in Alys Beach is continuing to increase, and the sales are following the same trend. This is likely due to the new construction in the community. The market reports are indicating strong upward growth, and look hopeful for the growing community. Strong sale prices, and the recent increase in the consumer confidence index should prove to show property owners larger than normal returns.
