Turnover Rate (%)

The share of existing housing stock that has been sold over the latest period.

Calculation: 12-month sales ÷ estimated total stock

Higher % = faster-moving market with strong demand. Very low % = slower market with fewer transactions.

Sale MOI (Months of Inventory)

How long the current for-sale supply would last if sales continued at the recent pace.

Calculation: Active listings ÷ average monthly sales

Lower months = tighter supply (seller-friendly). Higher months = more supply, buyers have more options.

Pipeline Risk (%)

Upcoming supply pressure from near-term handovers compared to today's stock and sales.

Calculation: Near-term handover units vs existing stock and recent transaction levels

Higher % = more new stock coming → greater dilution risk for prices/rents. Lower % = limited pipeline → supportive for prices.

Price Volatility Index

How "bumpy" prices have been over recent periods.

Calculation: Variance/dispersion of sale price per sq.ft over time

Higher index = more unstable pricing. Lower index = more stable and predictable market.

Off-Plan Premium (%)

How much more (or less) buyers are paying for off-plan vs ready properties in this area.

Calculation: Difference between average off-plan price per sq.ft and ready price per sq.ft

Positive % = off-plan trades at a premium. Negative % = off-plan trades at a discount vs ready.
