Prices are higher but how much is growth vs absorption after a long lean period of no construction?

Anyway, hello to all and I look forward to much knowledge absorption.

I'd have to see the thread, but you may try doing some searching on "absorption rate" to get a sense for how velocity is defined by some.

Where would you put the bar on absorption rate in order to justify another project?

Hi All,I'm in the process of evaluating some areas that I tend to invest in, however I'm not too sure of what my #'s are showing me,for the fact that it seems there is a rate of home sales of 1.60 days, giving me an absorption rate of 40.0.Can someone help check my numbers below and let me know if my calculations are correct or make sense please?

One other thing - as the local market starts to approach the top of the economic cycle, rent increases slowly, if at all, and the supply of new product increases faster than absorption of that space.

I guess that's where a lot of my real estate background comes from... absorption.

, but now I have to see if they're good/not good for sound absorption, man, what a headache to pick a floor!

Absorption is slow up there, so you want to have the best house for the price, or the lowest price for the quality of the house.If you are going to rent and hold, that's a different story, your biggest challenge will be pricing the rent properly and screening for good tenants.

Plaster has better sound absorption.
