How much of their asking price did buyers actually pay for homes in Taylor over the last half-year? The data shows a clear shift in negotiation power. Across 117 closed sales in the rolling six-month window ending September 30, 2026, the median home sold for $299,900, which represents 95.8% of the original list price. This figure marks an improvement for buyers compared to the prior six-month period, where homes sold for 92.0% of the list price.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between original listing prices and final sale prices to track this trend. The median close-to-original list ratio rose by 4.1 percentage points from the previous six-month window and is now 2.1 percentage points higher than the same period last year. This indicates that while sellers still hold some leverage, the gap between asking and selling prices has narrowed significantly compared to earlier in the year.
The data also reveals that 76.1% of homes sold below their original list price during this period, down from 86.0% in the prior six months. This shift suggests fewer deep discounts were required to close deals recently. The median home size was 1,746 square feet, with a median price per square foot of $174. These figures reflect the specific conditions of the Taylor market over this defined timeframe.
The analysis is based on closed sales data from the Unlock MLS system. All figures represent historical performance and do not predict future market behavior. The median close-to-original list ratio serves as a key indicator of pricing dynamics, showing how closely final prices align with initial seller expectations in the current environment.
