The market may seem a little soft but 24% of the buyers are still paying over the list price. About half of those were under $2,000,000 which is understandable. If some segment of the market is still competitive enough to warrant an over-list offer, it would be the...
Over List
Over List, May
Almost one-third of last month's buyers paid over the list price.....for the fourth month in a row! Either sellers are being smart about pricing attractively, or a fair amount of the buyers and buyer-agents haven't gotten the memo about the tougher market conditions....
Over List, April
April is usually a contender for best statistical month of the year. In 2023, April lost out to May for the highest percentage of sales that closed over the list price, and last year's early start had March be the year's winner in the category - with April in a close...

NSDCC Over List, March

Another month where the percentage of buyers who paid over the list price was around one out of five, while exactly HALF of the buyers paid at least $100,000 UNDER the list price! There were 11% of the sales where the listing agent also represented the buyer too....

Over List, October
The percentage of buyers who insist on paying above the list price has leveled out around 20% over the last three months. Even more interesting are those who pay $100,000+ OVER LIST when so many more are paying $100,000+ UNDER: PAID $100,000+ OVER LIST: 14 (8%) PAID...

Over List, September
There are so many signs that buyers don't have to pay over the list price Why do they keep doing it? Tired of waiting. Don't want to miss another one. Agent only knows to offer more. Listing agent gives them the impression that there are multiple offers. The softness...
