Closed sales show where homes are actually landing and how quickly the strongest ones are getting done.
If you are deciding whether now is a workable time to sell, I would focus on how fast recent closings moved from market to close. In Richfield, MN, 6 homes closed over the last 3 months, and the typical recorded market time for the tracked closings was 5 days, which tells me properly positioned homes can move quickly.
Recent closings give a grounded answer here. Over the previous 3 months, Richfield, MN had 6 closed sales with a typical closed price of $339,450, and the typical recorded time on market for the tracked closings was 5 days. The closed price range stretched from $60,000 to $387,000, so I would avoid using a broad average and instead lean on the typical result. Here is the part I would not ignore. Two of the tracked closings that included list-to-close detail showed final prices 4.29% and 10.6% above asking, and those same homes took 6 days and 4 days to close from listing status. I would not turn two examples into a blanket rule, but I would absolutely take them as proof that sharp pricing and strong presentation can still create fast, competitive outcomes. Price from the recent typical closed result first, then test your position against the strongest comparable active competition. Do not let a hopeful asking price replace a strategy. In Richfield, MN, I would also tighten your prep before launch so you can capitalize if your home draws the same quick response the strongest recent closings received.
