I read the closing ratio as a negotiation clue.

If you are wondering how much room there is between asking and closing, the sold-to-list number answers that fast. Last month in Fayetteville, NC, homes closed at 98.3% of asking, and that is a clear clue for how offers should be built.
A 98.3% closing level tells me deals are landing close to the list price. That narrows the room for guesswork and makes preparation more important than bravado. For buyers, I would be careful about assuming steep room to negotiate. For sellers, that number says the first serious price should carry real weight. Keep your terms clean. Decide what matters most, then move with that number in mind rather than hoping the market will bend around you.
