This page tracks what homes in Willows at Lake Rhea actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 3 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.
What homes sold for in Willows at Lake Rhea
Sale prices ran from $960,000 to $1,200,000, which is a wide spread and the reason a single neighborhood median is a starting point rather than an answer.
Homes priced right sold far faster
Median days to go under contract. Shorter is better.
Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 7 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 213 days and still closed at 99.5% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $110,000. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.
Seller concessions
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 was 0% 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.
