Half of everything that sold landed between $775,000 and $1,349,500. A quarter sold below $775,000 and a quarter above $1,349,500. The single lowest sale was $325,000 and the single highest was $3,150,000.
The middle half is the honest picture of a zip code. The lowest and highest sale are each one house, and one house is not a market. A median on its own hides how wide the spread is, which is the thing that actually matters when you are trying to work out where yours sits.
The median over the last 12 months was $1,067,500 across 314 sales. Over the 12 months before that it was $1,100,000 across 295 sales. That is down 3.0%.
Read the direction, not the decimal. Two windows of a few hundred sales move on what happened to sell, and a run of large homes in one quarter can shift a median without anything changing about what a normal house is worth.
