Understanding Listing Success Rates: Key Insights for Home Sellers

Per the Cromford® Report for September 20, 2025, and related sources, the Phoenix market shows mixed dynamics:

When navigating the real estate market, understanding key metrics can make all the difference. One of the most valuable indicators is the listing success rate, which tracks the percentage of home listings that successfully close each month compared to those that terminate for any reason, such as cancellation or expiration. Let’s dive into what the latest data tells us and what it means for sellers in today’s market.

Current Market Snapshot

As of the latest report, the listing success rate stands at 69.7%, slightly above the long-term average of 69.2%. This is encouraging news for sellers, as it reflects a market that’s performing just above its historical norm. Even better, the trend over the past 30 days shows a gradual upward movement, suggesting growing momentum. Over the last decade, the long-term average has climbed from 65%, thanks to more time spent in a strong market than a weak one.

What does this mean for your listing? On average, a home listed today has about a 70% chance of closing and a 30% chance of not closing. For listings that don’t close, roughly 66% are canceled, while the remaining 34% expire.

Price Matters: Success Rates by Price Range

The likelihood of a successful sale varies significantly depending on the price of the home. Here’s a breakdown of how different price ranges are performing in 2025:

• $300,000–$400,000: Homes in this range are the easiest to sell, boasting a strong 73.3% success rate. This sweet spot appeals to a broad pool of buyers, making it a highly competitive segment.

• Above $400,000: Success rates start to decline as prices increase. The higher the price, the more selective buyers become.

• Below $200,000: These homes face challenges, with lower success rates due to factors like less desirable locations or the need for significant renovations.

• Over $2 million: The success rate drops sharply, and for ultra-luxury homes priced above $10 million, the success rate is just 11.9%. Even in a relatively strong luxury market, these properties attract a small, highly discerning buyer pool, often leading to longer selling times. In fact, nearly 9 out of 10 listings in this range fail to close, making sales in this segment a significant achievement for agents.

Timing and Trends

The listing success rate also follows a weekly cycle. Midweek tends to show lower success rates, while weekends often see a peak. If you’re tracking market performance, keep an eye on whether the highs are getting higher and the lows are staying elevated—a pattern we’ve observed since late August. This trend signals a strengthening market, which is great news for sellers.

What This Means for You

If you’re considering selling your home, understanding the listing success rate can help you set realistic expectations and strategize effectively. Pricing your home competitively—especially in the $300,000–$400,000 range—can significantly boost your chances of a successful sale. For higher-priced or luxury homes, patience and working with an experienced agent are key, as these properties often require more time and a targeted approach to find the right buyer.
