Note: It appears a high share of units sold so far at Melia and Ilima are larger residences, suggesting the share of total square footage and revenue sold is likely meaningfully higher than the 60% unit pre-sale figure.
We exclude Leasehold data from this market analysis because Leasehold properties do not compare with regular Fee Simple properties.
We use median instead of the average because it depicts more accurately a central tendency to the sample size. Example: Take 5 numbers - 3, 5, 7, 9, 21. The median is 7 (the middle number) and the average is 9 (sum of all divided by 5).
We count days on market from listing date through closing date.
