Rough Hollow List-to-Sale Price Ratio Explained

What does a 95% list-to-sale price ratio mean for buyers and sellers in Rough Hollow? This metric compares the final sold price to the original listing price. In this market, homes are closing at 95% of their initial asking price on average. ALEX Intelligence analyzed 47 closed sales over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026. The median close-to-original list ratio reached 0.95, up from 0.92 in the prior six-month period and 0.909 a year ago. This improvement indicates that sellers are receiving offers closer to their original expectations compared to previous periods. The data shows a clear trend of stronger negotiation outcomes. While 80.9% of homes sold below their original list price, this share has decreased significantly from 97% in the prior period and 92.1% a year ago. The median close price also rose 21.5% to $990,000 compared to the prior six months, reflecting increased demand or reduced inventory pressure. Price per square foot followed a similar upward trajectory, rising 11.0% to $302. This suggests that buyers are paying more not just for larger homes, but for each square foot of living space as well. The median days on market dropped 17% to 44 days, indicating faster transactions and less time for price reductions to take effect. For sellers, this ratio signals a shift toward more favorable conditions where initial pricing strategies are holding up better against buyer offers. For buyers, it suggests that while negotiation room exists, the gap between asking and selling prices is narrowing compared to historical trends in this community. Want to see this home?
