Big Sky Ranch homes are closing closer to their original list prices than they did six months ago. The median close-to-original list ratio reached 96.2% across 47 closed sales in the rolling six-month window ending October 31, 2026, up from 94.2% in the prior six-month period. This metric measures how much of the original asking price a seller ultimately receives at closing.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between original list prices and final sale prices to track this shift. The data shows that while 85.1% of homes sold below their original list price, the gap between the two narrowed compared to the previous period. In the same window last year, the ratio was 93.7%, indicating a continued trend toward stronger negotiation outcomes for sellers over the past year.
The median sale price also rose 22.4% year-over-year to $464,990, while the median days on market dropped to 35 days from 53 days a year ago. These figures suggest that homes are selling faster and with less discounting than in previous periods. The analysis is based on 47 closed sales, meeting the minimum sample size required for this metric.
This ratio helps buyers understand current negotiation leverage and assists sellers in setting realistic initial prices. It reflects market conditions where demand has increased relative to supply, allowing sellers to retain more of their asking price.
