Closed-sale context is broader than a city
Unlike a home-value index, this Redfin field is a median closed-sale price. It reports the midpoint of its observed all-residential county sales for the period.
The tradeoff is geography: Pitkin, Eagle, and Garfield counties include places outside the five city studies. The county results are explicitly a broad context layer, not a substitute for an Aspen or neighborhood median.
How to use this public-data result
This closed sales result is a documented context measure for the stated dates and geography. Read it together with the source definition and the table rather than treating the chart as a property-level conclusion.
A current local comparative analysis remains necessary for an individual buying, selling, or pricing decision because this aggregate series does not control for the attributes of a specific home.
Methodology
- Use Redfin's public county market tracker and retain rows with region type county, property type All Residential, 30-day period, and IS_SEASONALLY_ADJUSTED=false.
- Compare the May 2019 and May 2026 median sale-price fields for each named county.
- Calculate percentage change as May 2026 divided by May 2019 minus one; do not pool county transactions.
Limitations
- County geography is broader than the cities served in this research and must not be written as city-specific evidence.
- A monthly median can move when the mix and number of sales changes; it does not represent every home or every price segment.
- Redfin data are provider data subject to revision. This report does not infer a future sale price, return, or cause of change.
- The Redfin archive was retrieved September 29, 2026, but the most recent analyzed monthly observation is May 2026. It is a historical May snapshot, not a current September market reading.
