What it means

The calendar can become a line item. Mortgage payments, taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance, market windows, and move logistics can all affect the real result.

Why sellers miss it

Price is visible. Net is private, conditional, and full of assumptions. That is why the bottom-line conversation usually needs its own lane.

What can change it

Seller question

Quiet next step

This is the kind of question a private seller-net conversation is designed to organize.
