But homes are still selling, even if slowly. And they’re still increasing in price, even if that increase has been slowed just a bit too. In fact, some are still selling for slightly more than the list price, and sellers continue to have the upper hand in some markets. Because of the market change, only 43 metros of more than 150 evaluated have homes selling over asking.
Stacker analyzed data from Redfin to see which metros had the most homes sold over asking price. Data shows sales for the month of April 2023. Metros with 300 or more home sales were included. They are ranked on the average sale-to-list ratio, which is a ratio of a home’s sale price divided by its list price. Values were rounded to the nearest hundredth. Also listed are the median list price for homes on the market in April, median sale prices for homes sold during that month, and the share of homes that sold above list.
