What is the Sale-to-List Ratio in Real Estate?

The sale-to-list ratio in real estate is a key metric that measures the final sale price of a property as a percentage of its original listing price.

For example, if a property is listed at AED 1 million and sells for AED 950,000, the sale-to-list ratio is 95%.

A ratio above 100% means properties are selling for more than the listing price, indicating a competitive market, while a ratio below 100% suggests that properties are being sold for less than the asking price, often indicating a buyer’s market.

In Dubai’s dynamic real estate market, this ratio helps assess market trends, pricing accuracy, and negotiating power for buyers and sellers​.
