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.

Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 38 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 72 days and still closed at 94.5% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $6,050. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.
Seller concessions

3 of 9Sales 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
Conventional 6 sales67%
Cash 3 sales33%
Cash was 33% 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.
