How to Read This
Rankings here are a starting point, not a verdict. Each market on this list has a distinct posture, and the right answer for any specific buyer or seller depends on the brief: pricing band, lot character, architectural posture, commute window, and the depth of the comparable set in the moment.
Across this set, working values range from $745,000 to $1.45M on the median. That spread is real and reflects genuine differences in tier, posture, and inventory composition - not error in the underlying data.
