Summary answer: Fair Oaks's typical home sells at roughly list price, while "hot" homes sell for about 1% above list — a genuinely modest premium compared to more aggressive bidding seen elsewhere. The right number depends heavily on whether the specific listing you're targeting falls into the "hot" category.

I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Let me explain why the right number depends on how a specific home is priced and positioned.

The two tiers of Fair Oaks sales

Tier Typical Sale-to-List
Average home ~100% (around list price)
"Hot" home ~101% (about 1% above list)

How to figure out the real target number

  1. Pull actual recent comparable sales
  2. Check days on market and price history
