These are closed sales, not asking prices. A closing is a fact; a list price is an opinion. The trade-off is timing — a sale closes about seven weeks after it goes firm, so this describes deals negotiated roughly six to seven weeks ago rather than what is happening on the street today.

What to take from it

With only 8.7% of homes selling above asking, list prices here are a starting point rather than a target. Buyers have room to negotiate; sellers should price against what actually closed nearby, not against what neighbours are asking.

Notes from the NestOnce a month I take the closed sales apart and write up what actually moved, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Tell me the area you care about and the letter follows it. →

Figures are computed from closed sales only and exclude records withheld from public display. A sale closes roughly seven weeks after it goes firm, so these describe deals negotiated about six to seven weeks ago. Neighbourhood and property-type figures are shown only where at least 150 sales support them.
