At the bottom of Mike's stats page he has the average / sq ft...

He takes the average price / sq foot of each home individually, and then take the average of all those numbers.

I'm not sure why he doesn't use the median of all those numbers instead of the average. But I guess by taking the avg / sq ft of each home individually it might lessen the chance of the numbers being too skewed one way or the other.
