This close-to-original list ratio has improved slightly compared to the prior six-month period, rising from 94.6%. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between listing and closing prices to determine how much negotiation is occurring in this market. The data shows that 82.7% of homes sold for less than their original list price during this window. While the median sale price increased by 8.7% compared to the prior six months, the gap between asking and selling has narrowed slightly, with the ratio moving up by 1.1 percentage points. The median days on market also increased by 12.5% to 36 days, suggesting a slight shift in buyer leverage. Despite this, the median price per square foot rose to $259, up 3.6% from the prior period.
