- A-15 1.3% of the last category ( ⤠1000USD), most prices are near zero. We drop all transactions with a sales price of ⤠1000 or missing. The remainder of this section provides some descriptive statistics for the three categories of sales price (missing, ⤠1000USD and > 1000USD) to build confidence that the dropped transactions are not affecting the sample in any peculiar way.

- A-44 2. Transaction coverage across time by states Figures A.13, A.14 and A.15 plot the number of armâs length transactions per year by state from Section A. above. Some states have good coverage in the mid-90s already (e.g. California, Colorado, New Jersey), but generally, coverage starts to be good from 2000. This is one reason why we focus our analysis to begin in 2000. The other reason is the availablity of pollution data. Most states have a decline in transactions during the housing crisis 2006/2007 in the lead up to the financial crisis.

- Out of all transactions (incl. Texas where prices are typically not recorded), 70% have a missing sales price, and 1.3% of transactions have a sales price of zero or ⤠1000USD, as shown in the last row of Tables A.5, A.14 or A.15, which break up statistics by year, state or property type. Of the 21 This is the data downloaded from Zillow on April 7th 2020. This excludes observations with a transaction date before 1990. Since one transaction can contain multiple housing units, the number of units transacted in the raw data is slightly higher at 485 million.
