The average ask-to-sell ratio in September 2025 was 95.3%, which is down 2.00% from the same month last year. This ratio indicates that while the market remains active, buyers are still negotiating roughly 4.7% off asking prices on average.

YTD, the ask-to-sell ratio is 96.9%, slightly down from 97.4% in 2024—a 0.51% decrease. For sellers, this means pricing strategically is more important than ever. Overpriced homes may linger on the market longer or require price reductions to attract serious offers.
