The Avena Property Price Index: Under the Hood
We monitor 1,881 properties from 127 developers. The index uses a matched-pair methodology comparing asking prices of properties in consecutive periods.
Limitations
Asking prices, not transaction prices. Survivorship bias (best-priced sell first). Geographic coverage limited to coastal regions. New build only.
Data Quality Assurance
Automated outlier detection. Duplicate detection. Stale listing flagging. Cross-validation against notarial transaction data.
