They are not a monthly snapshot. Both neighbourhoods are read from the live MLS feed at the same instant, when you open this page, so the two sides are always measured against each other rather than against different weeks.
Both neighbourhoods are recalculated from the live MLS feed at the moment this page loads, and both are read at the same instant, so the two sides are always comparable. Figures cover residential homes; rentals, land and commercial are excluded, as are fractional co-ownership shares, which are priced per share and would distort the medians. Sold figures cover the last twelve months. Schools shown are the ones the homes for sale today are assigned to and can change - check with the district before relying on them.
