The repeat-sales index, which compares properties with their own earlier sale and so is not moved by a change in the mix of what sold, was up 5.3% over the year, on 1,491 matched pairs. The CSO's own index for the same regions moved +3.7% over the same period. New builds were 23% of sales.

County figures are medians, so they move with the mix of what sold as well as with price. The index above controls for that; a county median does not. Sales counts for recent quarters are a floor, because the register keeps accepting filings for weeks after a sale closes.
