Failed-listing counts (where shown) are Canceled/Expired/Withdrawn records deduplicated per listing over the same window; counties outside those feeds show no count rather than an estimate.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.
