Those numbers could be slightly skewed depending on what kinds of houses are selling. For example I live in what many would call a "starter home" type of area. I've noticed houses are staying on MLS for a very long time, with pricing drops, and they still stay there. However if a lot of the $1M and up homes are being sold, the average price will move upwards. It could be a trend that on average the more expensive houses are selling; whereas many of us here on CP are in the "starter home" kind of market, and see our house prices going the other direction.
