A note on the listings widget below: it pulls from a third-party data feed scoped to a single ZIP code (87544), and it reports the median price of homes currently listed for sale (asking price), not homes actually sold. Our table above reflects real closed sales across all of Los Alamos's MLS records (non-disclosure-state aggregate data), which is why the two numbers won't match — they're measuring different things over different areas, not competing claims about the same one.
