About the Reports

Here are a few hints to help you interpret the FMLS Sales reports:

A “*” behind a list or sales price indicates that it is/was listed at a different price than the original list price.
A “#” behind the sales price means that the seller paid some amount of closing costs. It could be anywhere from a few dollars to nearly ten thousand.
“Active” includes homes with no contract, and those with a contract that can be terminated by a better offer – a “Contingency ‑ Kickout”.
“Sold” includes homes that are

under contract with details to be worked out, usually financing - these are shown as “Contingency – Other”;
under contract with the buyer having the option to terminate for any reason - "Contingency - Due Diligence". This is the period during which a buyer finalizes financing and conducts inspection of a home.
“pending” – something has to go terribly wrong for them to not close; and
“sold” homes.

The sales price is not accurate until a home actually closes and the listing is updated. It may be several days after you see our new neighbors move in.
DOM stands for “Days on Market”. This number does not always accurately portray how long a house took to sell. For example, a home is on the market for six months and doesn’t sell. The owners have lowered the price and there has been some good interest recently. So, the owners list the home again with the same agent/broker and the house sells in a few days. DOM will show as the few days, not the many months it actually took. And, it won’t show a price change from the original.
