Larger homes usually show a lower price per square foot. That is normal and it is why a price per foot taken from the whole neighborhood should never be applied straight to one house.
Homes priced right sold far faster
Median days to go under contract. Shorter is better.
Never reduced 15 sales, closed at 97.9% of asking19 days
Reduced at least once 17 sales, closed at 97.6% of the reduced price89 days
Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 19 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 89 days and still closed at 97.6% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $10,100. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.
Seller concessions
53%Of sales included a seller credit
$7,860Typical credit when there was one
17 of 32Sales carrying a credit
A seller credit covers part of the buyer's closing costs and comes off the seller's proceeds, so the headline sale price overstates what the seller kept. Budget for it if you are selling, and ask for it if you are buying.
How buyers paid
Cash 12 sales36%
Conventional 11 sales33%
FHA 6 sales18%
VA 4 sales12%
Cash was 36% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
