Average vs. Median Price
Real estate statistics are a great way to take the pulse of a particular market but knowing what the numbers mean, can sometimes be confusing. Here's the difference between average and median price:
Average: is the set of data added together divided by the number of data that you have.
Example: $250,000, $280,000, $285,000, $350,000, $500,000; add them up equals $1,665,000. Divide $1,665,000 by 5 and answer is $333,000.
Median: is the exact middle number that exists in a set of chronological (smallest to largest) data.
Example: $250,000, $280,000, $285,000, $350,000, $500,000; the middle number is the third number, "$285,000" which is the median. In this case the median has exactly two numbers on each side of it. Now, if there is no middle number, such as $250,000, $280,000, $280,000, $285,000, $350,000, $500,000 then average the two middle numbers, which would be an average of $280,000 and $285,000 which is $282,500.
Average and median are both measures of central tendency, but the average can be skewed by very large or very small data. Click here to read more.
