How to use this
“Sold / 12 mo” counts closings recorded in the MLS under the builder’s listing office; builder-direct sales that never hit the MLS are not counted, so treat it as a floor. Median sold is the closed price of those homes; days on market is the median for the same set. Register your own agent on the first visit — the builder pays the commission either way, and you get representation on a one-sided contract, an independent inspection at pre-drywall and at completion, and a lender comparison against the builder’s incentive.
