Methodology

Figures cover single-family listings in Santa Barbara, CA, computed from the MLS replica this site licenses for public IDX display. Land parcels are never folded into a residential median. A figure that does not meet the minimum reliable sample size for its cohort is omitted rather than shown as a rounded or approximate number. Sold-derived figures render only where MLS sold display is approved for the originating feed.
