Every week many homes listed on the market go under contract, by watching these properties we can draw certain conclusions to help us understand the market. By studying these properties we can see how long an average home will be on the market, what upgrades help homes get sold, and how much a home will sell for compared to its original list price just to name a few. In the past week there were 21 homes that went under contract with the average days on market being 16 days.
