The above report was compiled based on the following:-

 

  1. "AVG. DOM" refers to the average number of days on the market, or the average marketing time needed to sell the home.
  2. The data is compiled from the Central Coast Multiple Listing Service as of August 22, 2008.  The information is deemed accurate but not guaranteed.
  3. Only stick-built single-family residences under $1M are included in this report.
  4. Due to fewer $1M-plus sales, sales on similar properties selling more than $1M are excluded.
  5. Condominiums, planned development units, townhouses and mobile homes are not included in this report.
