        "text": "The absorption rate, often found in Miami Beach market reports, estimates how long it would take to sell all available properties at the current rate of sales. It's calculated by dividing the total number of available homes by the number of homes sold per month. A high absorption rate indicates a seller's market (low inventory, quick sales), while a low rate suggests a buyer's market (high inventory, slower sales). Understanding this metric helps both buyers and sellers gauge market competitiveness and inform negotiation strategies. For example, a low absorption rate might signal a need for sellers to be more flexible on price.",
