Del Valle: How List Prices Compare to Final Sells in October

In Del Valle, buyers are negotiating closer to the original asking price than they were a year ago, but sellers are still accepting less than their initial list. The median close-to-original list ratio for October was 94%, down from 95.8% in September and matching the 95.8% seen in October 2025. This metric measures how much of the original list price a home actually sells for, calculated by dividing the final sale price by the first list price. Across 19 closed sales, 84.2% of homes sold below their original list price, compared to 83.3% in September and 100% in October 2025. The median closing price was $299,990, a 7.0% decrease from the prior month's $322,484. While the ratio dipped slightly, the share of homes selling below list remained relatively stable compared to last year when every single home sold under the original ask.
