The Colony: How List-to-Sale Ratios Shifted in Six Months

In The Colony, homes are closing closer to their original asking prices than they did six months ago. Across 104 closed sales in the rolling six-month period ending September 30, 2026, the median list-to-sale price ratio reached 0.92, up from 0.873 in the prior six-month window. This metric represents the final sale price divided by the original listing price; a higher ratio indicates buyers are paying closer to the initial ask. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the pricing dynamics for this period to track how negotiation leverage has shifted. The median close-to-original list ratio improved by 5.4% compared to the prior six months and remains 1.4% lower than the same window last year. While the median sale price rose 5.7% to $434,950, the proportion of homes selling below their original list price dropped from 93.9% to 86.5%. The data suggests a tightening market where sellers are retaining more pricing power than in previous periods. However, prices per square foot remain 10.3% lower than last year, indicating that while the gap between list and sale prices has narrowed, overall valuation growth has moderated. Buyers and sellers should note that these figures reflect a rolling six-month average rather than a single month's snapshot. Thinking of selling in The Colony?
