Avalon: How Close to List Price Did Homes Sell?

How close to the original asking price did homes sell in Avalon over the past six months? The median home sold for 97.9% of its original list price, up from 94.3% in the prior six-month period and 93.6% a year ago. This shift reflects a tightening market where buyers are paying closer to the initial asking amount. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between original list prices and final sale prices for 35 closed sales. The median close-to-original list ratio, which measures how much of the listed price a seller ultimately receives, has improved by 3.8% compared to the prior period and 4.6% year-over-year. This metric indicates that while some negotiation remains, the gap between asking and selling prices has narrowed significantly. In this rolling six-month window ending September 30, 2026, 68.6% of homes sold below their original list price, down from 84% previously. The median sale price rose to $520,000, a 16.9% increase over the prior period and 7.8% higher than the same window last year. These figures suggest that Avalon is moving toward a more balanced or seller-favorable environment compared to earlier in the year. The data covers all closed transactions where both original list and final sale prices are recorded. As with any market analysis, individual property conditions and specific buyer motivations can cause variations from these median trends. Want to see this home?
