--- title: "Our Listing Performance vs. the Market" date: 2026-05-11 author: "Zac Albers" --- # Our Listing Performance vs. the Market ★ Verified Listing Performance · 2025 Data # Our Listing Performance vs. the Market 19 homes AREG closed in 2025. Every one of them matched against same-neighborhood, same-bedroom, time-matched market comparables. Here’s how we stacked up.

Here’s where AREG sat in 2025. 14 days Median days on market Market median for comparable homes: **35 days**. AREG sellers waited **21 fewer days** at the median to go under contract. 98.4% Of original asking price Market median: **96.8%**. AREG sellers landed **1.72 percentage points closer** to their original asking price. ~$5,400 Typical seller advantage On a typical AREG sale (~$234K): about **$4,000 more** from sharper pricing plus **$1,400 saved** in carrying costs from selling 28 days faster. ## Speed: How Fast AREG Homes Sold The numbers above are medians. The full distribution tells the same story — AREG homes moved quickly across the board. 3 homes sold in **0 days** — under contract before they hit the MLS 42% sold in **7 days or less** 53% sold in **14 days or less** 74% sold in **30 days or less** The homes that beat the market on speed didn’t just edge it out — they outpaced the market by weeks. ⚡ Speed Standout 300 S Basswood Ave, Republic, MO Sold in **0 days** — under contract before it ever hit the MLS. Comparable homes in the area averaged **76 days** on market. ⚡ Speed Standout 844 S Natalie Ave, Springfield, MO Sold in **3 days**. Comparable homes averaged **69 days** — that’s **66 days faster** than the market. ## Pricing: How Close to Asking AREG Sellers Landed Speed without price is a fire sale. The data shows AREG sellers got both — fast contracts AND strong final prices. 32% sold **AT or ABOVE** the original asking price 58% sold **within 2%** of original asking 102.3% highest sale-to-asking ratio recorded +1.72 percentage points **above market** on negotiation 💰 Pricing Standout 718 S Olive St, Marshfield, MO Listed at **$199,900**. Sold for **$204,500** — **102.3% of asking**, or $4,600 OVER list price. Comparable homes in the area averaged just **94.7%** of their asking price. 💰 Pricing Standout 2268 E Parkwood St, Springfield, MO Listed at **$224,900**. Sold for **$230,000** — **102.27% of asking**. Comparable homes averaged just **89.6%** of their asking price. ## Winning on Every Metric at Once The most telling cut of the data isn’t any single metric — it’s the combination. When a listing wins on speed, sellers worry about leaving money on the table. When a listing holds out for price, sellers worry about it sitting forever. AREG listings did both, often at the same time: 42% Beat market on all 3 metrics 8 of 19 AREG homes were faster than market *and* closer to asking *and* commanded higher $/sqft — all in the same sale. 58% Beat market on 2 of 3 metrics 11 of 19 AREG homes beat the market on at least two metrics at once. The wins compound — sharper pricing helps speed, and a faster contract helps negotiating power. ## What This Means for Your Sale If you’re considering listing a home, the practical translation looks like this: - **About $4,000 more in your pocket** at closing, from pricing that lands closer to your original ask. - **About $1,400 saved** in carrying costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities) from spending 28 fewer days on the market. - **~$5,400 total typical advantage** on a sale around the median AREG price point. - On larger or more strategically marketed homes, the advantage scales up from there. ## How We Measured This For every home AREG closed in 2025, we identified the closest possible comparable sales on the open market and ran the same three metrics on every property: - **Days on Market** — from listing day to going under contract. - **Sale-to-Original-List %** — what percent of the *original* asking price the home actually sold for. Price reductions during the listing don’t get hidden. - **Price per Square Foot** — sale price ÷ living square footage. **Comparable selection:** same neighborhood (or nearest comparable area), same bedroom count, same bathroom count, similar square footage and acreage, sold within 60 days before or after the AREG sale. Typically 2–11 comparables per AREG listing. **About the dataset:** 19 AREG-closed homes from 2025 with a full set of qualifying market comparables. One unique luxury property was excluded because no meaningful comparables existed in its price band. One additional sale had no qualifying comparables within the 60-day window. > The full underlying spreadsheet — every property, every comparable, every calculation — is available upon request.
