What stands out

In the core counties, price still drives days on market more than location does. All three sales under $1M sold in 9–19 days. Three of the four sales at $2.5M or more took 258 days or longer.
The peripheral counties ran slower overall (median 187 days), but their two closed sales took 78 days (Scott) and 145 days (Henry). The two high-priced contingent sales, at $2M and $6.25M, pull the figures up.
The outside counties include the quickest large-acreage sale in the set. A 253-acre farm in Bath County sold at its full $1.2M list price after 40 days, compared with 224 days for the Boyle County sale. Bath County is about 35 miles west of Olive Hill, which makes it a useful reference for properties outside the periphery that are priced right.
