Sunset Oaks: How List Prices Compare to Final Sales

In Sunset Oaks, homes are closing closer to their original asking prices than they did a year ago. The median close-to-original list ratio reached 98.2% over the last six months, up from 94.0% in the prior six-month period and 96.3% during the same window last year. This metric compares the final sales price to the original listing price before any reductions, showing how much of the initial asking price buyers are actually paying. ALEX Intelligence analyzed 40 closed sales to determine this trend. The data shows that while 70% of homes sold below their original list price in the current period, that share has dropped significantly from 86.2% previously and 78.6% a year ago. This shift suggests buyers are becoming more competitive or sellers are pricing more accurately from the start. The median sale price also rose to $269,745, reflecting a 3.7% increase over the prior period and a 5.8% gain compared to last year. Homes sold faster as well, with the median days on market dropping to 19 days, down 20.8% from both the prior period and the same time last year. These figures indicate a tightening market where properties are moving quickly at prices near their initial asking points.
