DXBinteract indicator
What is the off-plan absorption rate?
Primary absorption rate: The share of a project's (or developer's) off-plan units that have been sold.
What does primary absorption rate mean?
Absorption rate is the percentage of off-plan units in a project, developer portfolio or area that have been sold to date. A high rate means little developer inventory is left; a low rate means stock is still being marketed.
Formula: Absorption = units sold ÷ total units × 100
What should you watch out for?
- Absorption says nothing about price; a project can sell out at a discount.
How these figures are calculated
- Method
- Counts units with a registered primary sale against all units registered for the project.
- Also
- Projects reading above 100% (a recording problem) are excluded.
