The first two weeks matter most
98.6%
of the original asking price, for the 54 homes that sold within 14 days
91.2%
of the original asking price, for the 71 homes that took longer than 30 days
On a $2.94 million house, that gap is roughly $217,000. Pricing it right on day one usually beats chasing the market down. Check your Dunbar home's price
