I am looking at how close buyers are coming to asking.

If you are selling in Tempe, AZ, the key question is how close buyers are paying to list. Last month, the average list to sale price came in at 97.77%, and that is the number I would respect first.
The average list to sale price was 97.77% last month, and the typical sale took 38 days. That tells me pricing discipline still matters if you want a clean result. For a seller, I would think carefully before pushing the ask too far above recent closings. For a buyer, I would use that close-to-list pattern to stay realistic and move decisively on the right home. Price with the sold level in mind. Keep your expectations tied to the 97.77% outcome. Move early if the home is strong and priced right.
