The Reduction Curve

How Sale Price Holds Up · By Days on Market

Median sale price as a % of list price, at each DOM band

The longer the home sits, the less it commands. Buyers reward fresh listings and discount stale ones — the curve is the same conversation in graph form. Remember: these are June closings. Homes that went under contract weeks ago. The current market may be a different read.

Sold-only data Everything on this page is closed homes — they went under contract weeks before they closed. The "Right now" panel above uses the live NWMLS Sales Ratios pull and the Market Insights snapshot. Use both reads together; the May closing data is a recent benchmark, not a forecast of what the next listing will do.

Source NWMLS Statistical Market Analysis (Appraiser) report. Pull: Property Sub Type = Residential, Status = Sold, sale period 5/1/2026 – 5/27/2026. Includes both MLS-listed and Sold-Unlisted transactions where the broader stat is exposed.

Method "Median SP/LP" is the appraiser median sale-price-to-list-price ratio for homes that closed inside each DOM band. The "Reduction Curve" is that ratio across NWMLS's five DOM bands — 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120, 120+ days. Empty bands (small price points with no June closings in that DOM range) show as —. We intentionally don't translate the SP/LP % into dollars on this page — that math ignores price drops, closing-cost credits, and negotiated concessions, and tends to overstate the actual delta.

Sample sizes Some of the $1M+ price-band views (Pierce, Thurston, Kitsap) and the smaller Pierce cities work off small samples — single-band counts in the single digits. They're useful as a directional read of the high end, but agents should double-check very small samples before quoting them in writing.
