Carol,
The average listing price to selling price (list to sale ratio) is currently around 95%. Having said that, there can be some pretty substantial differences in the list to sale ratio depending on the price range, ie. a starter home below $300k, a colonial, or a multi-million dollar waterfront property. Also, when you work with averages, you sometimes miss key information. The average also doesn't mean that you can guarantee than one individual seller will agree to come down x% because that's what the statistical average has been trending. Your buyer agent should be able to provide you with some more detailed statistics on precisely what you are looking for. This by the way is a key reason why it is a good idea to work with a buyers agent. I wish you luck in reaching your goals! - Thu Dec 17 2009, 14:29

Noel,
The listing for this home on the MLS system states that it has temporarily been taken off the market. Not sure if/when it will be coming back on, but before being removed from the market it was listed as active. Sorry I couldn't be more help. - Sat Nov 28 2009, 16:16

Hi Kiki,
Without knowing anything about the house, what the market value is, how desireable the property is, I can simply inform you that the average list to sale ratio in Newtown over the past 6 months is approximately 95%. Here's another (and in my humble opinion a better) question: what if $360,000 is too high? The point is that a good buyer's agent should be able to counsel you on the many many issues that are involved in purchasing a home, including price, but also a much longer list including items such as inspections, town hall research, etc. The list is too long to go into here and will depend on your situation. Good luck!! - Tue Nov 17 2009, 13:05
