Sunset Oaks: How Close to List Price Did Homes Sell?

What does a 98.2 percent close-to-original list ratio mean for buyers and sellers in Sunset Oaks? This metric compares the final sale price to the original asking price at the time a home hit the market. In the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, homes sold for an average of 98.2 cents on the dollar across 40 closed sales. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the pricing dynamics by comparing the original list price to the final close price. The data shows a distinct shift in negotiation power compared to the prior six-month period. The median close-to-original list ratio increased by 4.5 percent, moving from 94.0 percent previously. This improvement coincides with a 3.7 percent rise in the median sale price to $269,745 and a 1.9 percent increase in the median price per square foot to $158. The trend indicates that sellers are retaining more of their initial asking value than before. While 70 percent of homes still sold below their original list price, this represents a significant improvement over the prior period when 86.2 percent of sales fell short of the ask. The median days on market dropped by 20.8 percent to just 19 days, suggesting that well-priced inventory is moving faster and with less discounting required. For buyers, understanding this ratio provides a baseline for offer strategy. For sellers, it confirms that the current market conditions favor retaining more of the listed value compared to earlier in the year. These figures are based on 40 closed sales within the Sunset Oaks community over the specified window. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing.
