Methodology

Our index isn't a simple average of asking prices — that would conflate “where prices are going” with “what kind of property happened to list this month.” Instead, we run a hedonic adjustment for property mix (beds, baths, sqft, location decile, year built) and then compare like-for-like.

Sales data combines closed transactions (where public records permit) with median asking prices weighted by historical close-vs-list ratios. Rentals data uses active listings plus tenanted-renewal data shared by partner landlords.
