Sellers on Capitol Hill ARE NOT getting higher than list prices!! Where is the data to support that ridiculous claim?
While it wouldn’t be fair to say that every seller is getting above list price in Capitol Hill, it would be fair to say that quite a few sellers are getting above list price, especially in the Stevens micro-neighborhood.
You can take a look at the following redfin.com pages to get a look at the stats & trends of any neighborhood.
Capitol Hill:

Stevens:
http://www.redfin.com/neighborhood/2609/WA/Seattle/Stevens
It looks like the sale to list ratio for Capitol Hill is currently 88.5% and Stevens is currently 86%. Which would lead you to believe that most sellers are not getting above list price, but if you actually dig into the homes that sold, you’ll see that quite a few of them did pull in more than their list price.
It’s a case of stale inventory dragging down the average while coveted homes are bucking the trend.
