How to read newer-home sales data
- 2015+ describes the building, not its sale history
- A home built in 2015 or later may have changed hands several times. A listing’s new-construction flag is a separate field and is not independently verified.
- Sale-to-list is not investment return
- Sale price divided by asking price measures negotiation against that listing. Original list price is the first asking price of that listing, not the owner’s purchase price.
- A median is a midpoint, not a valuation
- The mix of detached homes, townhomes and apartments changes. Compare like types over the same period; a changing median does not establish appreciation of an individual home.
- MLS sales are a sample of builder activity
- Direct builder transactions may be absent, and builder fields may be incomplete. We do not treat these records as total builder sales or a builder quality ranking. CREB statistics glossary.
