sales_history
The recorded transfer history for a property: amount, date, and the type of each transfer.
The question it answers
What are the comparables, really?
A recorded deed is the legal source of truth for a transfer: instrument type, consideration, parties, and date. That is what separates an arm's-length sale from a quitclaim between relatives, an estate transfer, a foreclosure, or an investor flip. A comp set that silently includes non-arm's-length transfers is biased before the model sees it.
Why it matters
One row per transfer, linked to the deed that recorded it. Holding the full history rather than the last sale is what allows a consumer to filter to arm's-length transactions before computing anything, and to see a flip pattern that a single most-recent-sale field hides.
The source dictionary carries no definition for this class.
In practice
The transfer and the document are separate classes because the cardinality differs: one deed can convey several parcels, and one parcel accumulates many deeds. Linking them rather than embedding is what keeps both directions navigable.

Provenance and coverage
A record of this class is validated against the same definition whatever jurisdiction it came from, which is what makes two counties comparable without a per-county adapter. A jurisdiction appears below only where a committed configuration serves this class's surface.
