Selling Price per Square Foot

Selling Price vs Listing Price

The lower the ratio is below 100% the more of a Buyer's market exists, a ratio at or above 100% indicates more of a Seller's market. The September 2019 Selling Price vs List Price of 96.7% was up from 96.3% last month and down from 98.1% in September of last year.
