- **Contract Purchase Price**: $4,600,000
- **Illustrative Buyer Commission Share**: -$69,000*
- **Illustrative Net Cost**: $4,531,000

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
