Here’s something that stayed consistent month-over-month, however, there has been a year-over-year decline, dropping from 99% to 98%. Receiving such a high percentage of the list price not only shows market demand but also proper pricing adjustments for the current market conditions.
The market has seen more leverage fall into the hands of buyers over the past year but with the Average Sold Price to List Price Percentage remaining only two percent from 100%, it is clearly not a market of high leverage for all buyers. Homes that are within the majority of buyers’ price range are still moving at a rapid pace and with little price flexibility, but where buyers are seeing some leverage is in properties that 1) fewer buyers qualify to buy or 2) are less desired by most buyers.
Lastly, to see the Average Sold Price to List Price Percentage remain so high should be no shock when we consistently remain near 2 months of supply and our median Days-on-Market is only 13 days.
