How common are sales prices above list prices? Part 2

On April 10, 2010, I wrote a post “How common are sales prices above list prices?”

My analysis of sales data in Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and San Carlos indicated that in the first three months of 2010:

38.3% of the homes sold and closed in Menlo Park sold at or above list price.

46.5% of the homes sold and closed in Palo Alto sold at or above list price.

51.3% of the homes sold and closed in San Carlos sold at or above list price.

What happened in the month of April 2010?

36.6% of the homes sold and closed in Menlo Park sold at or above list price.

56.2% of the homes sold and closed in Palo Alto sold at or above list price.

70.0% of the homes sold and closed in San Carlos sold at or above list price.

The number of home sales above list price increased in Palo Alto and San Carlos during April 2010 above the first three months of the year. Clearly, the market in those two cities is heating up.

The number of homes sales above list price in Menlo Park remained unchanged at about 36%.
