Details

List price data is the most complete. Many counties are missing sale price and number of units sold. Only counties with at least one non-NA listing price entry are included in the data. Also, the data only represents counties in the contiguous United States (Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands are not included). A few major outliers in sale prices in small counties have been removed.
