What does a list-to-sale ratio of 89.6% mean for buyers and sellers in Fayette County? This figure represents the median final sale price divided by the original asking price for homes that closed between April 1 and September 30, 2026.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the pricing dynamics across 34 closed sales to determine how closely listings matched their final prices. The data shows that in this six-month window, sellers received 89.6% of their original list price on average. This is a notable shift from the same period last year, when buyers paid 93.5% of the list price.
The trend indicates a move toward more negotiation room for buyers compared to previous years. In the prior six-month period ending March 31, 2026, the ratio was 87.0%, suggesting that while prices are still settling below asking, the gap has narrowed slightly in recent months. Currently, 91.2% of homes sold for less than their original list price, a figure that rose from 86.0% during the same window last year.
For sellers, this data suggests that pricing at or near market value is critical to avoid extended time on the market. The median home sold for $299,000, down from $344,950 in the prior six-month period, reflecting broader price adjustments in the county. These figures are based on 34 closed transactions and represent a rolling average rather than a single month snapshot.
The analysis confirms that while Fayette County remains active, the pricing power has shifted toward buyers who can negotiate closer to or below the initial asking price. This metric helps set realistic expectations for both parties entering the market today.
