I would disagree with this statement. It's really interesting in markets like the bay area from an individual consumer perspective

why though? genuine question.
sometimes sellers over or under estimate their home. Over asking price doesn't indicate how a market is doing. It indicates other things: are sellers under estimating their home to start bidding wars? how delusional some sellers are on the price of their home? etc. These are interesting things to know, but as a buyer, I'm more interested in putting the right offer at the right time, and there's no better indicator than $/sqft for a specific location. Of course it varies (how many bedrooms? how many bathrooms? other cool amenities?) but this could be a subfilter of this product.
