Realtor.com Real Estate Data Library

Data Attribution: Files in the realtor.com real estate data library are free to use, we just ask that you attribute any full or partial use of the data to realtor.com with a link to this page. See specific notes on attribution for each data series under sections below.

How to use the data: Files are structured for database use, and contain multiple metrics for different levels of geography down to zip code level. ‘Current month data’ shows figures for the latest month available, while the ‘Historical data’ contains monthly series going back in time. The ‘All Residential’ category includes data on all homes (single family home and condo/townhome) for the given level of geography. See key remarks for important info regarding data quality and usage.

Key remarks: Data in this realtor.com library is based on the most comprehensive and accurate database of MLS-listed for-sale homes in the industry. We aggregate and analyze data from hundreds of sources and produce hundreds of metrics for multiple markets, and curate figures and trends where possible for reliability and comparability. However, as we continue to evolve our coverage and fine-tune our definitions, some data points may be too volatile or incomparable over time or across markets. This is particularly true for data in a) smaller geographies; b) markets with special or changing definitions of active inventory; c) markets with limited or partial listing; and d) coverage markets with limited or partial sales coverage. Where possible, these cases are annotated for individual metrics (see data dictionaries for more info). Also, every month, we reissue the full historical series, and past data points may change as we improve data breadth and accuracy, and/or re-state the data altogether.

Note:

With the release of its October 2019 housing trends report, realtor.com® incorporated a new and improved methodology for capturing and reporting housing inventory trends and metrics. The new methodology uses the latest and most accurate data mapping of listing statuses to yield a cleaner and more consistent measurement of active listings at both the national and local level. The new methodology also allows realtor.com® to achieve more consistency and stability in measurements across markets and in each market over time. As a result of these changes, the data released since November 2019 will not be directly comparable with previous data releases (files downloaded before November 2019) and realtor.com® economics blog posts. However, future data releases, including historical data, will consistently apply the new methodology.
