1. Why are both median and average sales prices displayed on the chart?
Answer: In broad distributions, the values at the tails of the distribution may distort the average to give an inaccurate measure of a typical value in the distribution. This is particularly true in real estate. In these cases, the median, where 50% of values are higher and 50% of values are lower, is a better measure for the price of a typical property. |
