Pricing right in Lancaster.
What happened to homes that sold for their first asking price, and to homes that did not.
Every home was first listed at some price. In Lancaster, 35.8% of homes sold for that first number or better. The other 64.2% sold for less than they first asked. On a $280,000 home, here is how those two endings differ.
Read it as a pattern, not a promise. Some homes sell under their first price for reasons no strategy would fix: condition, a hard location, a seller who had to move fast. But the split looks like this in every city in this report, and the first number is the one thing a seller gets to choose. Based on 293 sales in Lancaster over the window.
