MONTHLY SUPPLY An estimated time it would take to sell all current active listings based on the trailing 12-month sales rate. % LIST PRICE TO CLOSED PRICE Also known as the “Sale-to-List Ratio”. This is the ratio of the final sale price of a home to its list price or asking price. The ratio is an indication of whether homes are selling above, at or below list prices. Figuring out this ratio is a simple two-step process: Divide the selling price by the asking price. Multiply the result by 100 to make it a percentage.
