Here are the results for a quick look at the tax roll from the MLS for the listings that neto posted. Most of them did not have a change of status on the tax roll meaing either the property fell out of escrow or it is still in escrow.
Also the sales price I put in was what was recorded on the tax roll and as you can see the 5% was built into the price. (Neto thanks for posting all of these)
I think the amount of closed escrows actually surprises me.
