Two events share one source document
The county PDF covers October 18–21, 2025 and the December 6–9 follow-up. Our September 17 review counted 279 distinct parcel entries: 217 without the follow-up marker and 62 with it. We keep those groups separate. The purchase-price column records the reported transaction amount; it is neither an opening bid nor evidence of investor profit.

Three examples to check against the source
Page 1 reports AIN 2401-003-036, item 1559, at $3,100 and AIN 2428-028-024, item 1573, at $4,600. Neither has the follow-up marker. AIN 2190-009-032, item 1520, is $9,900 and explicitly marked as follow-up. Treating all three as October purchases would erase a material event distinction.

Why imported rows are not a parcel count
Our local October history contains 1,477 rows but 1,260 distinct parcel identifiers. The 217 additional rows repeat identifiers under different imported labels. All 279 official entries match the local history for their corresponding event dates. This reconciliation establishes a connection between records; it does not make every other catalog entry unsold. Avoid computing a sell-through rate with a row count that includes duplicates or lacks verified event membership.

How to use the record
Match the parcel identifier and item first, retain the follow-up marker, and record the price under its actual event. Keep a separate question for payment completion, recording, later transfers, and property condition. Those questions require different evidence. Any comparison should state which event and which denominator it uses; this review does not supply a complete advertised denominator.

Outcome definitions and remaining evidence
- sold
- Reported purchase or sale entry in the named official publication; payment and recorded deed were not independently checked.
- canceled
- Only an explicit official cancellation establishes this outcome.
- unsold
- Only an explicit official unsold result establishes this outcome.
- unknown
- Not established by this review. Absence from a sold list does not establish an unsold result.
- The complete advertised denominator and outcomes for entries absent from the purchase-price list.
- Independent payment and recorded-deed verification.
