Selling Price

Asked Price
The 'Asked Price' is the price a property owner sets for their property when they intend to sell it. It represents the amount they are seeking from buyers. The term 'Asked Price' is commonly used in real estate transactions and is often seen as the initial price point which may be negotiated.
Brokerage Allowance

Cash Equivalence
Cash Equivalence refers to the market value of an item if it were to be sold for cash. In real estate, this often represents the true value of a property, which can differ from the stated selling price due to various financial arrangements.
