greekfire, it’s more like this: c/e/w is the soup cans that were moved off the shelf because the manager moved it out to make room for different merchandise, he is holding it in the back for some other use, or it is past its expiration date. Either way, what does it matter to me as a shopper? All I care about is the price and selection of what is on the shelf today, not the stuff he took off the shelf.
Again, I think all the data we need is in the inventory, pending, sold.
I think c/e/w is a lagging indicator, an indicator that turns when the market changes. So it is as useless as keeping track of commission rates, which also increase as the market turns, but doesn’t tell me anything new. So many factors go in the other direction when the market turns, but they are the result of the market turning. Why track them all?
Another example is builder commission to realtors. It’s gone from 0 to almost 100%. Track that also?
I don’t mean to be too cynical, SD Realtor, I’m just trying to make sense of it out loud. You know I’m your biggest fan:)
