In glomming on to positive news don’t forget to remember your basic math. Median prices have been going up in some areas, down in others. The median is the value that occurs in the middle of everything that has sold. For example, if seven apples have sold for $1, $1.25, $1.5, $1.5, $1.5, $1.75 and $2. The median price would be $1.5. The median value is the middle price, it does not represent the size, quality or type of apple.

In real estate it is important to remember that the median sales price represents the average price of what homes are selling for in a given area. It is not representing the size, condition or value of a home. The median sales price can be offset by foreclosure property that is selling in an area as well as by luxury property that is selling in an area.

The best way to determine the value of your real estate is to get it analyzed by and experienced real estate professional. There are many factors in determining real estate values today and picking an average out of the air could hinder the sale of your home. In today’s real estate market it is more important than ever to price your home appropriately.
