Market columns describe each city’s primary ZIP code (named in the row), asking prices on active listings rather than sale prices. Tax is the combined adopted rate a homeowner inside city limits pays in the district named on the city page, per $100 of value before exemptions. MUDs and PIDs add to it. A city shows 2026 only once every unit on its bill has adopted and published a 2026 rate; the rest still show 2025.
