The Contract Ratio measures contract activity relative to supply, and is used to indicate which side of the market has the advantage. A higher ratio means more contract activity relative to supply, which favors sellers. A lower ratio means less contract activity relative to supply, which favors buyers.
Taken together, these numbers show a market with strong price growth and fast-selling homes, but weaker contract activity relative to supply than both last year and the historical average. This suggests that despite rising prices, current conditions in Great Falls are tilted more toward buyers than sellers.
