Understanding the terms
Plain-language definitions for the market measures used in this report — and why each one matters when you're shopping.
- Market temperature
- How hot or cold the local market is — a blend of how fast cars sell and which way prices are moving. Hotter markets favor sellers; cooler markets give buyers more room.
- Buyer leverage
- How much negotiating power you have right now, based on inventory, selling speed, and price movement. Stronger leverage means more room to negotiate.
- Average days on market
- The average number of days a vehicle is listed for sale before it sells. Faster-selling cars leave less room to negotiate.
- Days of supply
- How many days it would take to sell all current inventory at the recent sales pace. Higher days of supply usually means more choice and more negotiating room.
- Sell-through
- The share of available inventory that sells in a given period. Higher sell-through means cars are moving quickly.
- Coverage
- The share of the market our sample observes for this report. Higher coverage means more confidence; figures below our threshold are withheld, not estimated.
- Observed
- A measured value taken from observed listings or sales — not modeled.
- Estimated
- A modeled value. It is clearly labeled and never presented as a measured figure.
