What these numbers do not show
- The month just gone. It is excluded on purpose — DLD keeps registering it for weeks, so it always looks weak.
- Revisions. Pages are rebuilt daily from the registry, so the latest month can still move slightly as late registrations arrive; older months are settled.
- Cause. This page reports movement; it does not explain it.
- Asking prices. Everything here is a registered transaction; what a home was listed at is a different number.
- Off-market and cash-equivalent deals that never reach the registry, and the price actually negotiated before registration.
- Service charges, chiller fees, agency commission, DLD transfer fees or mortgage costs — none of them are inside these prices.
