What sellers really got: sale price vs ORIGINAL list price

45% of Highlands Ranch sellers had to cut their price, and those sellers sold for a median of 94.2% of their original asking price: $40,250 below where they started. Sellers who priced right and never cut sold at 100.0% of asking. Most market reports quote "sale-to-list" against the final, lowered price, which is why the number looks close to 100%. The gap between the two lines below is the cost of starting too high.

The longer it sits, the less you get
