The percentage of buyers who were willing to pay over list reached another all-time high in July:

January: 38%

February: 43%

There were 33% of the total sales that closed for $100,000+ over list price!

One out of three!

In July, it was the $1,500,000-$2,000,000 range that was red hot, with an incredible 82% paying over list:

The average and median prices were slightly lower MoM, but the product mix is different every month.  Just having the average and median sales prices being higher than the list prices is remarkable enough:
