Main-floor primary analysis uses the same export
The main-floor primary bedroom analysis uses this same closed-sale file. Median calendar days to contract were 22 for main-floor primary homes and 33 for the other group. That is an association, not proof that stairs cause slower sales.
Methodology and limits
Coverage: June 29–September 25, 2026. September 26 is the edition date. The requested export window was the 90 days ending September 26; the last recorded closing is September 25. We show the dates the records actually cover, rather than implying there are September 26 closings.
Source: Teresa Overcash’s Triad MLS closed residential export and the county expired/withdrawn counts she supplied on September 26. The closed file contains 3,603 records across Forsyth, Guilford, Davie and Davidson. There are no duplicate MLS identifiers or closing dates outside the requested window.
Timing is calendar list-to-contract time, not native MLS DOM. Contract date minus list date reproduces the provided timing field. 3,561 records have timing; 42 comparison-only closings do not. Those closings remain in price and sales counts but are excluded from timing medians and their denominators. This measure should not be compared uncritically with an older edition using native MLS DOM.
Sale-to-list is the median of each home’s closed price divided by its asking price at contract, not the ratio of two medians. A net price reduction means the asking price at contract is below the original asking price. Neither measure estimates a future negotiation result.
Seller-paid share counts positive reported concessions among nonblank amounts. “Median when paid” uses positive amounts only. A recorded zero cannot tell us whether nothing was paid or nothing was entered. The resulting reported share may understate actual concessions.
“Left without selling” is (expired + withdrawn) divided by (closed + expired + withdrawn) in the same period. This is a status-exit ratio, not a probability that an individual property will fail: the county totals do not let us identify repeated listing episodes or relistings. No city-level exit rate is inferred from county totals.
City tables include the exact MLS city name within the four-county export, including cross-county portions present in that file. They are not county-wide proxies or claims to cover portions outside the supplied counties. Dedicated city pages require at least 100 closings. Price-band statistics are suppressed below 20 sales.
The Levels field is entirely empty. Primary-bedroom-on-main is populated for all 3,603 records with clean Yes/No values. We cannot separate true one-story homes from two-story homes with a main-floor primary. Year built, heated square footage and subdivision are present; presence does not guarantee accuracy. One implausible construction year was excluded from construction-year analysis only, not from sales, price or timing totals. No row-level identifiers are published.
These are observed closed-sale results, not a forecast, appraisal or promise about your house. No year-over-year change, inventory level, due diligence fee or earnest-money amount is inferred from this export.

What do these numbers mean for you?
Your property is not the median home. We can put the data beside your location, condition and competing listings.
