FAQ
What is a good sale to list ratio?
A good sale to list ratio depends on your role and the local market. If you are selling, a ratio near or above 100% usually means the property sold close to or above asking price. If you are buying, a ratio below 100% means the buyer paid less than the original list price.
Is sale to list ratio based on original list price or final list price?
This calculator uses the original list price. Some real estate reports use the final list price instead, especially if the property had price reductions before it sold. Always check which list price is being used before comparing ratios.
Can the sale to list ratio be over 100%?
Yes. A sale to list ratio over 100% means the final purchase price was higher than the original list price. For example, a home listed at $600,000 and sold for $630,000 has a sale to list ratio of 105%.
