This page tracks what homes in Mrs S D Shorts actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 1 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated September 2026.

Read this one loosely. Fewer than eight homes closed here in the last year, so every median on this page rests on a small sample and can swing on a single sale.
