Not a valuation
A regional average cannot price your specific home. It is context for a better conversation.

THE SCOTTIE READ
Context before conclusions.
Here's what we do control: we can read the whole set, compare the right segment and refuse to turn one percentage into a story it cannot support.
How much moved.
582 sales, down 10.0% year over year. 1,167 new listings, down 14.3% year over year. This tells us the pace of the regional market. It does not tell us how one street or one house performed.
Useful, with a warning label.
The average was $706,240. Both can move when the mix of homes sold changes. Neither one is a shortcut to the value of your home.
One regional total hides different markets.
The report recorded 3.9 months of supply, 33 days on market. Property type, city, condition and price band can still tell very different stories inside that regional total.
BREAKDOWN STATUS
No extra rows were invented.
The verified record stored on this site contains the regional headline figures only, so this page does not display city or property-type rows.
The complete monthly trail stays intact even when one report contains fewer fields than another.
SOURCE AND METHOD
Know what you're looking at.
Market stats are useful when the month, area, category and source all stay attached. Remove any one of those and the number gets easier to misuse.

Notes for this month
- Only the verified Cornerstone July headline series is stored here. No missing values have been inferred.
Read the numbers honestly
- All percentage changes are year-over-year unless a page explicitly says otherwise.
- March through June figures preserve each report exactly as published. Later ITSO reports can revise earlier records, so report vintages must not be silently mixed.
- In the March through June reports, Townhouse/Condo includes townhouse, condo and semi-detached properties.
- ITSO defines sales as properties on which offers were accepted during the month.
- Active listings are properties in active status at the end of the month.
- Months supply is month-end inventory divided by average monthly closed sales from the previous 12 months.
- Regional statistics show market direction. They do not establish the value of a specific property.
YOUR HOME IS NOT THE AVERAGE HOME
