Methodology
Realized medians are calculated from completed sales only. Asking medians are calculated from active listings only. The two families are never combined into a single price.
A metric is published only when at least 10 qualifying observations remain after duplicate removal, cleaning and IQR outlier detection. Between 5 and 9 observations a value is calculable but is withheld from publication and labeled as below threshold.
Movement figures compare the latest validated market snapshot with the closest comparable snapshot 7, 30 and 90 days earlier. Snapshots require at least 10 analyzed listings and are never interpolated or synthesized.
Retention and premium versus retail require an authoritative retail price. Retail prices without authoritative provenance are shown but excluded from those calculations.
Thresholds in effect: 5 observations to calculate · 10 to publish · 20 for normal coverage
