House prices cluster, sweep prices diverge
The House average combined Kalshi at 95.4 cents, Polymarket at 96.8 cents and Polymarket US at 96.3 cents, according to DeFi Rate. Polymarket carried the highest price of the three, while Kalshi was lowest.
DeFi Rate’s balance of power board put the average probability of a Democratic sweep at 78 percent. That reading reflected a wider split between venues: Kalshi priced the outcome at 74.5 cents, compared with 80.5 cents on Polymarket.
What it means for prediction markets
- The rise from 93.9 percent to 96 percent shows a strengthening market assessment of Democratic House control during the evening, not a confirmed election result.
- The House contracts were more closely aligned across the listed venues than the Democratic sweep contracts. Venue selection therefore mattered more to the quoted sweep price.
- These readings describe the reported observation window; they should not be treated as subsequent or final market prices.
