In a buyers market you are correct, with housing perhaps being traded below ask, using the ask would reflect and incorrect average.

That said, I have no idea as to whether CREB using what you've described.
Nope. Even in a sellers market I think people list above what they think they will actually sell their house for. I am stating that in a sellers market, on average, people get less for their homes then they list.

In a buyers market - they get a lot less.

But, a Realtor can most likely prove me wrong or right very easily.
