Seller concessions

5 of 10Sales 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 6 sales60%
Conventional 3 sales30%
FHA 1 sale10%
Cash was 60% 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.

About this data. Source is the Stellar MLS feed for Escondido in Altamonte Springs, Seminole County, covering closed sales from 13 October 2025 through 8 October 2026, refreshed monthly and current as of October 2026. Prices are net of seller concessions, so they reflect what the seller actually received rather than the headline number. One record was excluded as an off-market transfer rather than an open market sale. Data believed accurate but not guaranteed; listings and closings change daily.
