Median sale price, 25 sales

Median 14 days on the market. Sold for a median 97.5% of asking, and 5 of the 25 went at or over asking.

of the original asking price, for the 13 homes that sold within 14 days

94.1%

of the original asking price, for the 12 homes that took longer than 30 days

On a $990,000 townhouse, that gap is roughly $45,000. Pricing it right on day one usually beats chasing the market down. Check your Forest Hills home's price
