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.
What a pool is worth here
Homes with a private pool sold at a median $282 per square foot against $269 without one, a difference of $14 per square foot. That comes from 15 sales with a pool and 14 without.
Homes priced right sold far faster
Median days to go under contract. Shorter is better.
Never reduced 14 sales, closed at 97.8% of asking23 days
Reduced at least once 15 sales, closed at 95.9% of the reduced price99 days
Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 23 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 99 days and still closed at 95.9% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $25,900. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.
Seller concessions
41%Of sales included a seller credit
$5,250Typical credit when there was one
12 of 29Sales 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 22 sales76%
Cash 6 sales21%
FHA 1 sale3%
Cash was 21% 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.
