Method: Quarterly medians are computed from recorded residential sale transactions. Commercial and land-only transactions are separated. Outliers are excluded below a 10-sale threshold per area-quarter.
Limitation: Yield estimates are indicative benchmarks based on area-level data. Individual property returns depend on unit condition, view, building management and market timing. Historical performance does not guarantee future results.
Effective date: 2026-09-15. Dataset covers 2023-Q3 to 2026-Q2.
