Way back on August 8th, I predicted that 30 Cataract Avenue would sit on the market longer than it should and also experience a price drop, even though the house was already underpriced to begin with.
Today is (if you didn’t already know) August 22, 2025, and here’s my update on 30 Cataract.
-
30 Cataract Avenue went for sale on August 4th.
-
Experienced a $25,000 price drop on August 13th.
-
Went under contract on August 18th.
Average days on market in Dover, by the way, is 10 days with a median of 6 days. Cataract went under contract in 14 days, 4 days longer than the average, 6 days longer than its neighbor at 34 Cataract, and 8 days longer than the median.

My question, really, is: whose your Realtor?
