What does this mean for sellers?

With 2.5 months of supply, a correctly priced home still has more buyers than competition. Pricing from closed sales, not from a neighbor's asking price, is what captures that.

37.1% of sold homes reduced their price before selling. The homes that avoid a reduction are the ones priced on the comps from the start.

Median sale-to-list of 100.0% means sellers are getting full price on well-presented homes.
