Price per square foot and cost per square foot mean the same thing here. The figure is a median across closed sales, not an average, so one unusually large or expensive sale cannot drag it.

Median sale price per square foot divides a home's sold price by its size, so markets with very different typical home sizes compare on an even footing. It is a cleaner read on how expensive a market really is than the raw median sale price, which mixes in how big the homes are. This is the size-normalized price signal that data platforms like Parcl Labs sell through an enterprise API; here it is free, from closed Redfin transactions (MLS-sourced), so it is populated even in non-disclosure states.
