MLS closed sales, with duplicate ingestions collapsed and lease records excluded, so each row is a distinct transaction. Rows marked county record come from the assessor's deed data, which reaches back further than the MLS feed; rows marked via a listing site fill the years the feed misses using that site's public sale record.
