Spot data for a specific time period and market.

NOTE:

Some indicators (i.e. - Home Price Appreciation rates) are only available as "RAW" scores while others (i.e. - Hot Market Scores) are only available in percentile RANK format.

Micro Markets (counties, zip codes & neighborhoods) typically do not have enough data to produce a statistically valid RAW score, so we use the 'Parent' Market's RAW score.

Pending Sales per 10k Pop.

The number of properties listed as ‘sale pending’ per 10,000 population in that market.

Pending Sales Ratio

Pending sales as a percentage of all Active listings.

Price Drops per 10K Pop.

Number of properties with list price lowered per 10,000 population.

Price Increases per 10K Pop.

Number of properties with list price increases per 10,000 population.

RANK/PCT

PERCENTILE RANKINGS are expressed as a score from ‘0’ (weakest) to ‘99’ (strongest) for that specific indicator. For example, a score of ‘93’ means THAT market scored higher (stronger) than 93% of all similar U.S. markets. Percentile rankings are useful for measuring RELATIVE performance BETWEEN markets, not for measuring the absolute performance.

RAW

RAW Score reports the actual numerical value for that particular indicator. Raw scores do not rank or compare a market’s score against any other market; multiple markets could have the same or similar raw scores.

When the indicator itself is a combination of other indicators (such as the Raw Master Score) the raw score measures the absolute performance based on that indicator’s historical range, normalized using a '0' to '99' scale (99 being the 'strongest').

Sold & Expired per 10k Pop.

Number of monthly sold and expired listings per 10,000 population.

Total Listings per 10K Pop.

Total Listings = all Active and Pending Listings, per 10,000 population in that market.

Year-over-Year

The current month’s percent increase or decrease in the actual data compared to the same month in the previous year.
