Segment scope. Every 1-bedroom figure on this page counts only Palo Alto listings that match the 1-Bedroom segment. A Palo Alto listing outside that segment is not in these figures, and a home with a Palo Alto mailing address that the MLS classifies to another city is not either.
Figures labelled citywide cover all Palo Alto listings regardless of segment and are shown for comparison only. Where a label does not say citywide, the figure is the exact 1-bedroom segment. Every figure comes from the MLSListings Inc. compilation. Active counts are recalculated on a fifteen minute cycle. Closed-sale metrics are recalculated when the reporting period closes. Each has one definition and one label, used the same way everywhere on this page.
- Active Listings is a count of exact 1-bedroom Palo Alto listings in active or contingent status at the snapshot time. It includes active and contingent and excludes pending and sold.
- Avg Sale Price is the average closed price for the exact 1-bedroom segment.
- Avg Days on Market is the average number of days from list to contract for 1-bedroom segment homes that have closed. It excludes homes currently active.
- Price per Sq Ft is the average of closed price divided by finished square footage for the exact 1-bedroom segment.
- Sale to List is closed price divided by final list price for the 1-bedroom segment. Where a home was reduced before selling, the reduction is not counted against the ratio. A ratio calculated against original list price would be lower.
- Months of Supply is active segment listings divided by the average monthly closed count for the 1-bedroom segment.
- vs Last Year compares each closed-sale reporting period with the equivalent period one year earlier. Snapshot metrics, meaning Active Listings, compare with the corresponding prior-year snapshot rather than with a period.
Where a figure could not be verified against the compilation for the stated scope at render time, it renders as a dash. It is never estimated and never carried over from a prior refresh.
