A few of the market areas changed between 2003 and 2004, throwing off statistical comparisons. A separate Mason Lake area was added in 2004. Eight Elma addresses are included in the 1,251 figure for 2006.

Total values were $122.2 million for 2002; $158.4 million for 2003; $193.4 million for 2004; $274.1 million for 2005; and $283,070,132 for 2006.
