Why the rate lands here

Sandy Spring's market is running warm — steady buyer demand makes a well-priced listing easier to sell.

Price level matters too: at Sandy Spring's typical home value, an agent's dollar payout at a given percentage differs a lot from the national picture, and a fair percentage moves accordingly.
