Where does this market data come from?

Closed-sale data from the Greater El Paso Association of REALTORS MLS, compiled and updated monthly by Peña El Paso Realty Group. Data runs through July 2026.

Source: Greater El Paso MLS (GEPAR) - FlexMLS Sold Market Analysis, Single Family Residence. Aggregated from per-ZIP data via PEPRG ZIP-to-Area map. Notes: Feb 2026 medianPrice was sourced from Sales Statistics by Zip Code (all-residential) since the Sold Market Analysis median column was not enabled for that pull; Mar 2026 onward uses Sold Market Analysis median (SFR-only). May 2026 entry refreshed to full-month (5/1-5/31) on 2026-06-10 (was partial through 5/11). medianPrice for multi-zip areas is weighted by homesSold across constituent zips (approximation; per-area filtered FlexMLS reports would give a true median). New Mexico (Santa Teresa 88008 + Sunland Park 88063, SFR) seeded 2026-06-20 from a 2026 year-to-date pull (1/1/2026-6/20/2026), homesSold-weighted across the two zips; it is a single YTD data point (NOT a calendar month like the El Paso series) and is deliberately excluded from the El Paso submarket breakdown table until it accrues true monthly data. June 2026 appended 2026-07-04 from the 6/1/2026-6/30/2026 Sold Market Analysis (SFR, report dated 7/4/2026), homesSold-weighted per the same ZIP-to-Area map (northeast 79904/79924/79934; east 79925/79935/79936; far-east 79938; horizon-socorro 79927/79928; west-upper-valley 79911/79912/79922/79932; lower-valley 79905/79907/79915; central-downtown 79901/79902/79903/79930). July 2026 appended 2026-08-03 from the 7/1/2026-7/31/2026 Sold Market Analysis (SFR, report dated 8/3/2026), homesSold-weighted per the same ZIP-to-Area map. Note: the July report prints 79934 Percent-of-List at 115 (new-construction-heavy ZIP); taken as-is pending verification, it drives the elevated northeast (1.06) and all-el-paso (1.02) listToSaleRatio this month. July 2026 refreshed 2026-08-05 from the 8/5 re-export (report dated 8/5/2026): 5 late-recorded closings (79938 x2, 79928, 79907, 79915) landed after the 8/3 pull; 79934's Percent-of-List remained 115, corroborated as a builder-closing pattern by 79928 printing 104 (the metro's two new-construction ZIPs are the only ones above 100). Median and average prices reflect closed sales. Data through July 2026.
