Why the sale-to-list figure should shape your plan.

If you are weighing an offer or thinking about one, I would start with how close sales are landing to asking. In El Monte, CA, last month that figure was 102.7%, and it tells me buyers and sellers both need to pay attention to price.
Last month, the sold-to-list price in El Monte, CA was 102.7%. That is a meaningful clue, because it tells me asking price still carries real weight. I also keep the 30-day sale timeline in view. When a typical sale moves in about a month, I want every decision to be clean and deliberate. Check your price target. Do not lose time on weak terms. Keep the focus on the numbers.
