How DeSoto moved, month by month
When to list in DeSoto, and when to buy
Grouped by the month a home went on the market, which is the month a seller actually picks, rather than the month the sale closed.
Best month to list. Homes that went on the market in June found a buyer in a median of 20 days, about 23 days quicker than the rest of the year.
Softest months for sellers. 73% of homes listed in October sold below asking, against 71% in November. On a market this size those are the same answer, so buyers have room in both.
Grouped by the month a home went on the market, not the month it closed. That is the month a seller actually chooses. Bars show the real figure, so a longer bar always means a bigger number. Months with fewer than 15 listings are left out.
What homes here sold for
Every sale in the window, sorted into price ranges, so you can see where the middle of this market sits.
Most homes sold between $200,000 and $400,000. The median sale was $343,450, the highlighted bar.
Shares are of sales where we hold an asking price to compare against. They do not add to 100%: the rest sold at exactly the asking price, which is about a fifth of all sales. Bands under 20 sales are left out rather than shown on a handful of homes.
How often DeSoto sellers help with closing costs
Money from the seller toward the buyer's costs often moves before asking prices do, which makes it one of the earliest signs a market is turning.
More sellers are contributing than two years ago. In DeSoto, 66% of homes sold in the last twelve months came with money from the seller toward the buyer's costs. The typical amount was $9,000, about 2.5% of the sale price.
Share of closed sales where the seller contributed toward the buyer's closing costs, with the typical contribution when one was given. Both the median and the average are taken over the same cleaned set. Based on 420 of the 420 sales that closed in the last twelve months. The rest closed before the MLS recorded this field, and are excluded rather than counted as zero, and 17 entries above 10% of the sale price were dropped as data-entry errors.

DeSoto sales grouped by the elementary school a home is zoned to, which is the boundary most families actually shop against. These zones cover 92% of everything that sold here. Only zones with at least a dozen sales are shown, so every figure rests on real volume. The price column follows the Median/Average switch at the top of the page.
