Did earlier buyers gain?

Median paid per sqft, all types, against today’s 3,755 · before fees

Launch, 2025–26: 4,337; −13%; 175 sales
Previous 12 months: 4,416; −15%; 93 sales
Last 12 months: 3,755; today; 93 sales

The change is what a buyer at each median would be up or down at today’s median. A shift in the unit mix can move a median without any unit changing price.
