Last update: Jan. 7, 2026, midnight Source: IAR MLS Data Warehouse Data notes: This is calculated as the difference between listing date and pending date. To filter out erroneous data, this filters out listings with a pending date before 2017. There is delay in entering pending dates, so recent months represent only the portion of sales with a pending date. Geography notes: Metropolitan Statistical Areas are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau after each decennial census. They are made up of one or more counties and contain an urbanized area with at least 50,000 people. Learn more here: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/metro-micro/about.html.
