Based on 410 price checks across 10 complexes, Jun 2025 – Nov 2026. Each complex’s overall price trend is removed first, so this shows the seasonal pattern rather than the market moving up or down. That’s about one year of seasons, so treat it as an early read. Months marked “—” for specials had no specials data in the archived pages.
