The demand score evaluated a ZIP code, county, etc. and the page viewers per property, comparing them to other ZIP codes, counties, etc. The median days on the market were defined as the time between the initial listing of the property and the closing date.

Each metric was considered, with a weighted score of up to 50, creating 100 points in total. The higher the score, the more in-demand it is.
