A real, disclosed source spread

Zillow's own average home value ran approximately $297,439 (up 1.8% YoY) -- this record's canonical figure -- while a separately-cited Population Review figure placed the median meaningfully lower, at approximately $205,900.

Rising price-per-square-foot

The median sale price per square foot ran approximately $176, up a real, disclosed 17.7% year-over-year -- a meaningfully faster pace of appreciation than the average home-value figure alone suggests.

A moderately paced market

Homes went to pending in approximately 32 days on average -- a moderate pace, neither an extremely tight nor a slow-moving market.
