Average Asking Price to Actual Sold Price
The last chart I would like to share with you is the average asking price to sold price. As you can see, if you own a home in Manhattan and are one of the lucky ones to sell, there is very little negotiating on your asking price. This doesn't mean you haven't made price reductions to meet the market, but by the time you are negotiating with a buyer, you can usually expect to receive about 98% of what you are asking. If you have a home that is on more than one acre, as you can see, it is still rough waters for you and you can expect to negotiate your price in order to secure a buyer.
