Median $/SF Across 212 Recorded Industrial Sales

What the sample covers

This note summarizes median $/SF across 212 recorded industrial sales filed in county deed records for the selected metro. The sample includes arm's-length transfers with usable building area. As of last month. We publish the count because a median without a sample size is not a usable figure for desk research.

How the median is calculated

Sale price and building area come from the recorded deed and accompanying filings where available. Records missing usable SF are excluded from the $/SF calculation rather than imputed. The median is the midpoint of the remaining set, not a weighted average.

County filing timing can lag the contract date. We treat the recorded filing date as the source of truth for inclusion in the monthly window. That keeps the series comparable across months even when closing calendars slip.

What to check next

Drill into property-level deeds for owner of record, prior sale price and date, and mortgage maturity when you need a specific asset rather than a metro median.

Compare hold periods and ownership concentration in the same submarket before treating any single sale as representative.

Desk checklist for this series:

• confirm sample size (n=212) and as-of month before citing
• exclude records without usable building area from $/SF work
• treat recorded filing date as the inclusion timestamp
• open property-level deeds when a single asset matters more than the median

Bottom line

Median $/SF is a coverage signal for industrial activity in the metro, not a substitute for property-level deed review. Publish the sample size. Keep the as-of date visible.
