Very nice Lisa.  Your seller assistance stat is especially helpful in setting expectations.  We don't have access to that info in Louisville.

Erik, it's a little labor intensive to find the assistance numbers, since I have to review each closed sale for the data, but at least I can get it.  Does your MLS not have a place to record that after the closing?  To me, that's critical in determining what the real comps are.

No, it does not.  I wish it did for the very reason you mentioned though.  $6,097 is a significant number when compared to an average SP of $172,133.  Clients need to know this.
