Kyle: How List-to-Sale Ratios Shifted in August

In Kyle, homes are selling closer to their asking price than they did a month ago. The median close-to-original list ratio reached 95.3% in August based on 139 closed sales, an increase of 1.6% from the prior period and 3.0% higher than the same month last year. This metric measures how much of the original listing price a seller actually receives at closing. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between original list prices and final sale prices to track this shift. While 86.3% of homes sold below their original list price, the gap narrowed compared to July when only 93.8% was achieved. The median sale price rose to $320,000, a 6.7% increase from the prior month and 1.3% higher than August 2025. Price per square foot also climbed slightly to $165, reflecting the stronger negotiation outcomes. Homes spent an average of 52 days on market, down 7.1% from the previous month but up 20.9% compared to last year. This suggests that while sellers are recovering more of their asking price, buyers still have time to evaluate options before closing. The data indicates a market where pricing strategies are becoming more accurate, with fewer deep discounts required to move inventory. For sellers, this means listing closer to current market value is increasingly effective. For buyers, it signals that negotiating below list price may require more competitive offers than in previous months. Thinking of selling in Kyle?
