Question: Listing Price and Signed Contract

Not on streeteasy. Once it closes, then the actual sale price gets posted.

Some brokers will change the list price after the apt. goes into contract to reflect the approximate contract price. When the numbers eventually get reported in quarterly reports, it means that the sale looks like it sold for ask, rather than x% off of the real ask. In my experience, listings that sell for dramatically less than the list price do not update this info; they would rather make sure that the sale goes through instead of advertising the large window for negotiation in case the buyer walks away. It also forces people to look for the final price in ACRIS, via StreetEAsy, etc.
