How to read this
A buyer-favorable ZIP means the recent balance of sales, inventory, and pace tilts toward buyers across the whole ZIP. It is not a promise about any single home. Individual listings, price points, and property types still vary widely inside a ZIP.
Only ZIPs with enough recent closings to be reliable are ranked; thinner ZIPs are held out rather than shown on a small sample. Leverage updates weekly as new sales are recorded.
