Source and methodology
Based on information provided to and compiled by MLS Property Information Network, Inc. covering August 18, 2025 through August 9, 2026. Weeks are assigned using the recorded settlement date. MLS records may be corrected after they are initially reported.
The recent snapshot uses settled sales from May 12 through August 9, 2026. Median calculations omit records where the relevant field was not reported. Active single-family figures come from the supplied MLS export downloaded August 16, 2026 and exclude listings marked contingent.
