Even at the city level, shifts in the mix of homes sold can create significant month-to-month percentage swings. A few higher- or lower-priced closings can move the averages noticeably. The Dunnican Team tracks long-term patterns to provide context beyond the raw numbers, helping buyers and sellers make informed decisions.
