The definition of the absorption rate is if no other homes come on the market (additional inventory) it is the rate at which it will take all of the current market inventory to sell.

<4 months inventory is a seller's market. Between 4 months and 6 months is a balanced market. 6 months or longer indicates a buyer's market.
