What the Dauphin County numbers show
All 7 sold at or above original list, with an average of 8.3 days on market and $27,300 over list. Sold prices run from $53,000 to $321,000, from a city townhouse to a 4-bedroom raised ranch. Two of the 7 are the odd ones in the set: a city townhouse marketed to investors that listed at $40,000, and a Cape Cod that sold through an auction window. We include both, as reported.
