Rockdale: How List Prices Compare to Final Sales

In Rockdale, homes are closing at 92.2% of their original list price on average across 53 closed sales in the rolling six months ending Oct 31, 2026. This ratio, which compares the final sale price to the initial asking price, has improved slightly compared to the prior six-month period and remains close to the level seen a year ago. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between original list prices and final closing prices to determine how closely sellers are meeting their targets. The data shows that 77.4% of these transactions sold below the original list price, down from 81.8% in the prior period and 86.0% a year ago. This suggests a modest shift toward more realistic initial pricing or stronger buyer negotiation outcomes over time. The median close-to-original list ratio rose to 0.922 from 0.905 in the prior six-month window, marking a 1.9% improvement. While prices remain below original asks for most homes, the gap between asking and selling has narrowed compared to previous periods. This metric helps buyers understand that while few homes sell above list, the discount required is often smaller than it appears at first glance. The analysis covers 53 closed sales with a median price of $232,225. The sample size meets the minimum threshold for reliable trend analysis, providing a clear view of pricing dynamics in this market segment. Want to see this home?
