La Cima: How List Prices Compare to Final Sales

What does it cost to buy a home in La Cima compared to what sellers originally asked? The data shows that homes sold for an average of 93.5% of their original list price over the last six months ending September 30, 2026. This figure represents the median close-to-original-list ratio across 43 closed sales in the community. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between asking prices and final sale prices to determine how much negotiation occurs in this market. The median home sold for $482,110, which is a 20.3% increase from the prior six-month period and a 3.4% rise compared to the same window last year. While 86% of homes sold below their original list price, the gap between asking and selling has narrowed significantly over time. The median days on market dropped to 71 days, down 27.6% from the prior period and 46.2% lower than a year ago. This faster turnover correlates with an improved list-to-sale ratio of 93.5%, up 1.2 percentage points from the previous six months. Buyers are paying closer to asking prices as inventory tightens, though the market remains distinct from the regional average where homes sold for 94.1% of list price. The median price per square foot rose to $195, reflecting a 1.6% increase from the prior period. These figures indicate that while sellers are still accepting offers below their initial requests, the discount required to close a deal has decreased substantially compared to earlier in the year.
