Methodology
- These are the asking prices of The Yellow Page's public listings, not closing prices or appraisals.
- Sales and long-term rentals only; vacation rentals are left out.
- We use medians: half of the listings are above and half below, so one extreme listing does not move the figure.
- A figure is published only with 5 or more active listings in that canton and type, and the monthly change only when both months reach that minimum.
- A month is published when at least 3 canton figures have enough data. A listing counts in every month it was active and is new in the month it was published.
- The current month is provisional: its figures change until the month ends.
