Methodology

Methodology: county figures aggregate per-community MLS statistics (median community days-on-market and median community 1-year price change; closings as recorded) for the 12 months ending August 15, 2026, from the MLS feeds Momentum Realty licenses. Failed-listing counts (where shown) are Canceled/Expired/Withdrawn records deduplicated per listing over the same window; counties outside those feeds show no count rather than an estimate. Compiled from MLS records; deemed reliable but not guaranteed. General information, not advice about any specific property.
