Separate sources, separate purposes.
Agency-supplied listings describe asking terms and availability. Government transaction records describe reported historical contracts. The systems remain separate. A transaction is never automatically converted into an active listing.
The existing residential snapshot.
The residential collector groups stored records by source, property and transaction type, district and neighborhood. It reports a record count, latest contract date and separate medians for deposits and monthly rents. The public panel omits groups with fewer than five records. Those medians are descriptive and do not form the terms of a single representative contract.
The collector’s recent-month refresh schedule is not the full history window of the database: older stored records may remain. Changes in reporting mix, area, contract type and deposit-to-rent combinations affect comparability. A generation time describes the export, not the date each contract became complete or final.
Commercial data.
Commercial sales require their own approved source and verified normalization. Masked addresses, different building types and land-versus-floor-area denominators limit comparisons. No commercial price series is fabricated from the residential feed.
Revisions, failures and interpretation.
Reported records may be delayed or revised. Older history is not assumed to be continuously reconciled. The last available snapshot can remain visible during a collection failure, with its actual timestamp and a stale-data label. Do not rely on it as a live quotation or a property valuation.
