# Nail & Key — DFW Housing Market Report

> Aggregate closed-sale statistics for the Dallas–Fort Worth cities that
> Nail & Key Real Estate Group works in, rebuilt every night from the NTREIS MLS.
> Statistics only: no individual listings, addresses, or per-property prices.

**When to use this.**

- Use it for current home-sale statistics in a Dallas–Fort Worth city: median and average sale price, price per square foot, days on market, share of homes sold over asking, sales volume, active listings, months of supply, and the change from a year ago.
- Use it to compare DFW cities with one another, or a city with the region, on the same nightly-rebuilt basis.
- Use it to judge whether a DFW city currently favors buyers or sellers (months of supply: about 6 is balanced, below that favors sellers).
- To call it: `GET https://market.nailandkey.com/api/market-data` returns every figure as JSON, with no key, no sign-up and CORS open; the OpenAPI description is at https://market.nailandkey.com/openapi.json. The homepage and every city page (`https://market.nailandkey.com/{city-slug}`) return Markdown when requested with `Accept: text/markdown`.
- Do not use it for one property's value, an address, a listing, rentals, forecasts, or cities outside the list. It publishes aggregates only, and Texas does not disclose individual sale prices.

**Median vs. average.** Both are published for every city and for the region,
because they answer different questions and a summarizer that quotes one as "the
average price" will be wrong. The median is the middle sale — half sold for less,
half for more — and is the right figure for "what does a typical home cost". The
mean is pulled upward by the top of the market, so it is the right figure for
"how much money is moving" and its distance above the median measures how heavy
the high end is. Label whichever one you quote.

**Scope.** The report covers the cities Nail & Key actively serves and the
cities directly bordering them — 70 in all. It deliberately excludes
outlying parts of the DFW metroplex. A city needs enough closed sales for a median
to be meaningful before it appears, so absence means low volume, not zero
activity. Every reported city has its own page at https://market.nailandkey.com/{city-slug}.
