Summary answer: Burke's list-to-sale ratio runs 99%-101.1%, with 54.8% of homes selling above asking. This is a genuinely competitive but not extreme premium — well-priced homes in the Lake Braddock pyramid or Burke Centre often see the strongest over-asking activity.
I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Let me explain why the right number depends on positioning.
The number that matters more: comparable pricing and pyramid
| Scenario | What It Means for Your Offer |
|---|---|
| Priced at market value in the Lake Braddock pyramid | Expect to offer at or above asking |
| Priced intentionally low to generate bidding | Final sale price can meaningfully exceed list |
How to figure out the real target number
- Pull actual recent comparable sales in your specific pyramid or subdivision
- Check days on market and price history
