| What’s inside | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Middle 60% of recorded closed prices | Interpolated 20th–80th percentile range in the reviewed sample; not the full range or current availability. |
| Historical sale prices | Median closed prices describe the reviewed sample, not current asking prices. |
| Days on market | Mean days on market describes closed sales, not a prediction or leverage estimate. |
| Sold price per square foot | The mean of each eligible sale’s price divided by size, not the ratio of aggregate totals. |
| Sample size | Closed-sale counts show how much evidence underlies each neighborhood comparison. |
| Current property checks | Review condition, costs, written terms and address-specific school assignment. |
| Optional help | Download directly, then contact Taylor if you want help narrowing your shortlist. |
