What the spread says: half of everything that closed here landed between $127,500 and $225,000, so a house priced outside that band is competing with a much smaller pool of buyers. The fastest quarter of sales went under contract in 35 days or less, and 31% closed above the original asking price, which is what a well-priced first weekend looks like. The slowest quarter sat 93 days or more; that is where the price cuts live.
