How we counted
- Sales: single-family houses that closed through the MLS from October 1, 2021 to October 21, 2026. Condos, townhomes, mobile homes and land are left out, and so are sales that never reached the MLS.
- Duplicates: the same sale reported by two MLS feeds is counted once.
- Streets are counted within one city: a street that runs through two cities is ranked separately in each.
- Medians, not averages, so one unusual sale moves a street less. Small samples still swing, and a street’s median reflects which houses happened to sell.
- The top 15 streets in each city are PN-DS-26 in the Property Nerds® Data Library, as a CSV.
