How to read this comparison
Each figure is a median of what sold or was rented over the trailing year of four quarters, after the plausibility rule. A median describes the sales in its window, not what a given unit or villa is worth, and two places can differ because a different mix of units or villas sold in each.
A figure resting on too few sales is withheld rather than shown, and the cell says how many were kept. The places keep the order the API gives them, by page address: nothing on this page is sorted by a figure.
