What should Henderson County sellers know right now?

Pricing near tax appraisal values is critical because aggressive initial asking prices trigger longer market times. Two-thirds of matched sellers listed above county tax appraisals by a median of 22.5%, which forced 53.7% of that cohort to cut prices and wait a median 64 days. Conversely, the 33.9% of sellers who listed below CAD went under contract in a median 35 days. Offering a typical concession of $6,000 to $8,500 helps bridge buyer affordability in the lower and middle tiers.
