- **Contract Purchase Price**: $440,000
- **Illustrative Buyer Commission Share**: -$6,600*
- **Illustrative Net Cost**: $433,400

*Illustrative Buyer Savings of $6,600 — 50% of a 3% buyer-broker commission, shared at closing.*

- **Typical time to close**: 74 days (3 sales)

Based on studio sales at Oliver Cromwell with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through July 2026.

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.
