The number I used was the combination of detached and attached housing, and is strictly limited to what the MLS itself shows. The builders mostly don’t use the MLS, so their sales would be in addition to the MLS numbers. Likewise, the FSBO and non-sale transfers don’t show up in the MLS either. I think it’s fair to say that the MLS is just the MLS, not the complete picture. I still think it’s a good indicator of trends, though.
