JUST SOLD | A SELLER LESSON FROM AURORA 📊
101 days on the market. $49,900 below the original list price. And a $800,000 closing price.
That’s not just a sold story. It’s a lesson in what sellers need to understand about today’s market.
When we first brought 7680 S Blackstone Parkway in Aurora to market, it was listed at $849,900. The home eventually sold for $800,000 after 101 days in MLS.
So what can sellers learn from those numbers?
1️⃣ Your original list price is a starting point, not a guarantee.
The home was ultimately positioned at $824,900 before closing at $800,000. Sellers need to pay attention to how buyers are responding—not simply what they hope their home is worth.
2️⃣ Days on market tell a story.
At 101 days, the strategy had to account for changing buyer perception. The longer a home sits, the more important it becomes to evaluate pricing, positioning, presentation, and market competition.
3️⃣ The goal isn’t simply to get listed. It’s to get sold.
This was a 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 4,607-square-foot home on a 0.27-acre lot in Blackstone Country Club, with golf course views and a finished walkout basement. Even with substantial features, the market ultimately determined the result.
The takeaway for Aurora sellers:
A strong marketing plan gets your home noticed.
A smart pricing strategy gets buyers to act.
And knowing when to adjust can make all the difference.
