Average Residential Sale Price VS. Median?

Average Residential Sale Price is the arithmetic average of a set of numbers otherwise known as the "mean". To calculate the this form of average, take all the numbers in a set and add them together then divide by how many numbers there were originally (example below).

Average Residential Sale Price information can be useful in establishing trends over time, but does not indicate actual prices in centres comprised of widely divergent neighbourhoods or account for price differentials between geographical areas.

The Average Sale Price would be $940,711 while the median would be $333,000. As you can see there can be a huge difference in the outcome of the statistical average depending on the method you choose to calculate it. In the calculation for average home price however, the median is typically the more correct number. 1 i9 Y: Y7 M6 n
