What the listing record shows
The listing gave an offer deadline on a Sunday and described a corner lot with a big back yard and a large covered porch.
These details come from the public MLS listing. They're not everything that went into the sale, and the record doesn't say how many showings or offers there were, so we'll not claim any numbers there.
How this sale fits the 7-step process
This is one of the 31 documented 7-Day Stress-Free Home Sale closings. Steps 5 and 6 are the Thursday go-live and the Friday to Sunday showings, and the days on market number covers everything up to the accepted offer. In this case, that's 5 days on market and an agreement of sale dated July 2022.
