These numbers are baked into this page at generation time — what you (or any AI crawler) read here is the live market, not a cached snapshot.

The data

All endpoints are static files served with permissive CORS — fetch them from scripts, notebooks, or AI agents without a key.

Method

Data derives from the SmartMLS IDX feed for Stamford and nearby Fairfield County towns (Greenwich, Norwalk, Darien, New Canaan, Westport, Wilton). Counts include Active, Under Contract, and Coming Soon residential listings that permit internet display; price bands are cumulative (≤) on asking price; medians are computed on asking prices per refresh. Compliance-withheld addresses never appear in any feed.
