Methodology & limitations

01

Sale price

Median closing price, not list price. Redfin county data are May 2026; Forrest uses Zillow June 2026.

02

Appreciation

Three-month sale-price YoY for liquid markets. ZHVI YoY replaces unstable medians in thin or conflicting markets.

03

Market speed

Realtor.com median listing days on market for August 2026. It is not mixed with Zillow days-to-pending.

04

Inventory

Realtor.com active listings in August 2026, excluding pending listings. Months of supply comes from Redfin May 2026.

Scoring model

Growth combines clipped appreciation (35%), ZHVI YoY (25%), faster DOM (25%), and lower active-to-pending ratio (15%). Affordability is inverse normalized sale price. Potential averages Growth and Affordability, then multiplies by evidence confidence: High 1.0, Medium .85, Low .70, Very low .55.

This is a comparative screening tool, not a valuation, forecast, or investment recommendation. County medians can move because the mix of homes sold changes.
