Read the 2025 briefRaw volume mostly follows architectural prevalence.
A/A′ recorded 81 events across 167 mapped parcels; B/B′ recorded 59 across 118; G/G′ recorded 40 across 96. The stock-adjusted rates are far closer than the raw totals imply.

G/G′ carried the highest median total price but the lowest median price per square foot of the three reportable families. Its median reported area was 1,512 square feet, versus 952 for A/A′ and B/B′.
Explore the house typesMethodology
Recorded sales and deeds are reconciled before inclusion. Nominal, partial-interest, known non-arm’s-length and out-of-scope transfers are excluded. Every public statistic carries its sample; fewer than five observations are not reported. LPC family describes original façade and fenestration—not condition, renovation, legal use or an isolated value premium.

Public market research stops at the neighborhood. Research tables do not publish addresses, parcel identifiers, exact transfer dates, owner information, court rankings or address-to-house-type matches. The Selected Properties section is separate and includes only client-authorized, publicly marketed homes.
