Right here!
30A, Sorry I'm thick this evening. I am having a hard time interpreting Median from the graph as it is expressed in a line more fluid than the dates. Do you have any clarification on what SHELLY and SB proferred?

Median is just a way to get a feel for how prices are fluctuating. Like scooter said, it tends to indicate the most common average price of real estate sold by negating major lows and the major highs. Average can get thrown off by sales that fall way outside the mean. For example if you sold three homes for 200K, and one mansion for 2 million, the average would 650K, but the median would be 200K.

To quote my old Master's professor, average doesn't mean anything (sorry math joke). The problem with average is that one or two high or low numbers can skew the statistics. Therefore, median is often another way used to express the measured system. In this example it appears that there are a number of low sales and a couple of outliers on the high side that are not representative of what was actually sold since the average was much higher than the mean. So like in Shelly's example, one $1.8 million property lead to an average of $625,000. However, the market sales also included three out of five that were well below that average.

If average is used scientifically, it is often accompanied by standard deviation which better shows the "spread" of actual numbers around the average.

Now maybe BR will come on here and correct me if I mistyped anything.:D
