Here is a good sampling of the NSDCC pricing decisions made in May (mortgage rates started going up the first of April). The days-on-market are on the left.
Days on Market: All 28 found their buyer quickly – only one took as long as ten days!
Paid Over List: 21 of 28 paid over the list price (75%).
Of the 21 who paid over the list price, the average amount paid over list was $185,761. Literally 11 out of 21 paid at least $200,000 over list – and these 28 sales are the mid-range group!
Best Discount: -$70,000.
Here are some of the big winners:

Of the NSDCC detached-home sales in February, 60% of them closed above their list price. The majority of buyers are doing it, and we can expect the trend to continue!
But how much over?
Here are five recent sales that demonstrate the insanity:
