This page explains what the figures on Communities measure, how they are calculated, how often they change, and what they cannot tell you. Last reviewed September 4, 2026.
Property listings are published on Communities by the agents who market them. Communities does not hold sale prices or sale dates and does not present an asking price as a sold price.
Listing availability, prices and property details can change after publication. Confirm material facts and current availability with a licensed real estate professional.
Market statistics use active listings assigned to a community at the time of calculation. The median asking price is the middle asking price after listings are sorted from lowest to highest. The average asking price is the arithmetic mean. Neither measure is a sale-price statistic.
“Days listed” is the elapsed time for homes that remain active. It does not measure how long a home took to sell. “New listings in the last 30 days” counts active listings whose recorded listing date falls in that period. Current community figures are recomputed nightly and display their calculation date.
A monthly snapshot is finalized after the month ends and is published only when it contains at least 10 active listings. Finalized snapshots are not rewritten later. Month-over-month and year-over-year changes compare snapshots only when the required comparison exists; a methodology-version change is disclosed and may cause a comparison to be withheld.
A home-value result is an automated estimate expressed as a range. It considers the property details a user provides and comparable active asking prices in the surrounding market. It is not a valuation, broker price opinion, guarantee of value or prediction of a sale price.
Condition, renovations, views, exact location and other property-specific characteristics may require a professional inspection or local market review that an automated estimate cannot provide.
Nearby schools, parks, transit and other amenities come from OpenStreetMap contributors. Proximity does not establish school eligibility or attendance boundaries.
Amenity distances are straight-line distances and can differ from a walking or driving route.
Some suburb descriptions are drafted with AI assistance. Data tables, listing facts and source attributions are kept distinct from editorial text. AI-assisted descriptions are informational summaries and should not replace verification of a fact that matters to a housing decision.
