La Cima: How List Prices Compare to Final Sales

How much of the original asking price do buyers actually pay in La Cima? Over the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, homes sold for a median $466,900, which represents 93.3% of their original list price across 42 closed sales. This ratio has improved slightly compared to the prior six-month period and is notably higher than the same window last year. The list-to-sale price ratio measures the relationship between the final contract price and the initial listing price. A ratio below 100% indicates that homes sold for less than asked, while a ratio above 100% means buyers paid over asking. In La Cima, 83.3% of closed sales finished below the original list price, a figure that has decreased slightly from the prior period and significantly lower than the same time last year when 91.7% sold under list. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the pricing dynamics to show how negotiation power has shifted. The median close-to-original-list ratio rose to 0.933, up 1.0% from the prior six months and 6.0% higher than the same period last year when the ratio was 0.88. While prices per square foot dipped slightly by 0.5% from the prior period, they remain 3.2% above the level seen a year ago. The data suggests that while most homes still sell below list, the gap is narrowing compared to previous years. Buyers and sellers should note that the median home size increased by 5.5% in the current window, potentially influencing the final negotiation dynamics.
