- Busy under $400,000: This is where most Aurora sales happen, and half of homes sell in about two weeks.
- Growing choice in the middle: There are many more new homes between $400,000 and $800,000 than last year.
- Slower in the middle: Homes between $400,000 and $800,000 now take about four weeks to sell.
