"Less than 15 per cent of last month's sales were sold for over the list price," Sarafinchan said. That's down from 37 per cent in July.

While prices are strong, the market has relaxed from the frenzy of earlier months. Listings were down 21 per cent, and sales were down 16.7 per cent from October. The market now has fewer semi-serious or speculative sellers than during the summer. "We saw some of that as prices increased dramatically," Sarafinchan said. "A lot of people were testing the market."

With demand still strong, prices could be pushed higher, she said.

"We are going into the new year with historically low levels of inventory," Sarafinchan noted. "We may see a real hot market in the spring, although maybe not to the same extent as this year."

醉酒当歌

这个问题很简单，只要做个最近1个月内买房子的人的调查，就知道了，是降价了，还是涨价。比如，我知道的所有这3个月来在卡城买房子的人，没有一个是比listing价格高买的。

狂吃

这个比较不正确，要看LIST出来的价格是多少。侃价的幅度也不一样。
