If everyone is pulling the same initial dataset from the Multiple Listing Service for a given area and time period, how could there be differences between a report coming from Realtor A and another coming from Realtor B? Surprisingly, there can be significant differences, even with basic statistics like Market Time, Sales/Original Listing Price, Number of New Listings, Median Price, etc.

With summer ending and school starting, I thought it was a good time to look back to compare how the Rancho Santa Fe real estate market (defined for the purpose of this analysis as all attached and detached residential properties listed with the San Diego Multiple Listing Service for the 92067 and 92091 zip codes) has performed relative to last year.
