Sales Price / List Price Ratio
The sales price/list price ratio is the average sale price divided by the average list price for sold properties expressed as a percentage. If it is above 100%, homes are selling for more than the list price. If it is less than 100%, homes are selling for less than the list price. The June 2026 sales price/list price ratio was 106.11%, equal to the previous month and up from 104.01% from June 2025.
