Reading it right
- These are sale prices, not list prices, and they aren’t adjusted for inflation.
- Size drives much of the top end, so compare price per square foot as well as price when you look at houses at $3.5M or more.
- Small samples swing. Every cell shows its count, and one or two sales can move a small guide’s share.
- Some guides overlap, and a sale inside two outlines counts in both.
- Past sales aren’t a forecast or the value of any one home.
How we counted
Closed sales of single-family houses reported to the MLS, read through the IDX feeds that power our home search, with one record per MLS number and only sales with a recorded living area and a map position, placed inside each guide’s outline. A sale counts at a price if it closed at that amount or more. The yearly table uses the same rules, by closing date, through September 30, 2026.
