The archive
What every issue carries
| Figure | What it counts | Why it is in |
|---|---|---|
| Homes for sale | Every active listing in the valley on the morning of publication, after the land and commercial hygiene tests. | Inventory is the pressure gauge. Rising with steady demand means softer prices ahead. |
| New this week | Listings first seen in the last seven days. | Sellers' confidence, a week at a time. |
| Median asking price and $/sqft | The middle of what is for sale, and the same per square foot. | Per foot is the fairer read; the median moves when the mix does. |
| Median days on market | How long the typical active listing has been for sale, relists not reset. | The seller's patience, and the buyer's leverage. |
| Share with a price cut | Active homes that have cut their asking price at least once. | Where negotiating room shows up first. |
| Foreclosure filings | Notices of default, notices of sale and trustee deeds recorded in the month, from the county recorder. | Next season's supply of motivated sellers, months early. |
| The eight largest places | The same asking-side figures for each, and the change on the week. | The valley is not one market; Summerlin and Sunrise Manor move on different weeks. |
The glossary defines each: days on market, price per square foot, notice of default. The foreclosure counts come from the same sweep as the foreclosure pages, month by month and by ZIP.
Questions people ask
Where do the pulse figures come from?
From Kouzr's own daily snapshot of every active listing in the Las Vegas valley and its daily sweep of the Clark County Recorder. Not licensed from a portal or an MLS report. Each issue is written from the stored figures, so a closed week never changes.
How is this different from the market reports?
The market reports are live and per place: the number as of today. The pulse is a dated weekly reading of the whole valley with the change on the week before, kept in an archive so a figure can be cited as of a date.
What does the email contain, and what does it not?
The same issue as the page, the morning it publishes. One email a week. No listings, no agent, no follow-up, and the address is used for nothing else. Unsubscribe is one click.
Can I quote the pulse?
Yes, with a link to the issue. Each issue has a permanent URL of its date, and the market pages carry an embeddable widget and picture that refresh as the market moves.
Asking-side figures over the homes currently for sale; foreclosure counts under the publishing floor are withheld. Data about homes and prices, never about people; automated figures, not an appraisal.
