A quick note on how to read “Average Sold”

Average Sold is useful for rank comparisons, but it can move around based on the mix of sales (more higher-end vs. mid-market closings), the number of sales, and outlier transactions. Rising rank is meaningful, but it’s best interpreted as a pricing-ladder signal—not a single “why” explanation.
