We hold our marketing claims to the same standard we hold our reporting to owners: every statistic on this site should be traceable to a source. Below is the methodology and reporting period behind each figure we publish. Where we compare ourselves to the broader Houston market, both numbers come from the same dataset so the comparison is like-for-like. Figures drawn from the Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR) MLS are updated annually.
