Vendor Metrics

At a national level, properties are taking slightly longer to sell than they were during the property tattoo of last year.

However we're still in a seller's market with the number of days to sell the property very low (a sign of the tight supply situation for good properties), and vendor discounting still at very low levels.

In general, houses are selling largest than apartments, but the shortage of good properties on the market is seeing A-grade properties selling quickly with minimal discounting.
