How we measure it
- Area. The 34 ZIP codes that sit mostly inside Polk County. ZIPs that straddle a county line are counted where most of their homes are, so figures can differ slightly from county-boundary statistics. Poinciana (34759) and Davenport (33896) are counted in Polk County, where most of their homes sit, though both ZIPs also reach into Osceola. Avon Park (33825) and Bowling Green (33834) are left out because they are mostly in Highlands and Hardee counties.
- Homes. all = single-family + condo + townhouse/villa (manufactured/mobile homes, condo-hotels, land, income property excluded).
- Sold figures use closed sales over $100,000. Medians for price, price per square foot and days to sell; the sale-to-list price is the average of closing price divided by list price.
- Months of supply = active listings / (sales in trailing 12 months / 12). Under 4 favors sellers, 4–6 is balanced, over 6 favors buyers.
- Price cuts. active listings whose list price is below original list price (cumulative); priceCut30 = reduced within the last 30 days (not available where listings come from Space Coast MLS). Pending includes listings marked Pending or Active Under Contract.
- Balance of Power is our own 0–100 score: months of supply 40%, sale-to-list price 25%, price cuts 20%, days to sell 15%. The anchors for each are shown with the score. It is a transparent summary, not an industry standard.
- Privacy. Any figure backed by fewer than 10 sales is hidden. No individual home, address or agent appears in this data.
