Limitations
Property type follows the listing record, so similar attached homes can appear as villas, townhomes, condos or half duplexes; this article counts only villas and townhomes. New construction follows the listing's new-construction flag. "In contract" combines Active Under Contract and Pending, and contracts can fall through. City is the mailing city, and community follows our neighborhood match. Two-week counts come from our change log, which records a change when our refresh sees it and missed some days in this window, so treat them as a floor. Small counts move ratios quickly. Nothing here is legal or financial advice.
