Median vs. average: The median is the middle sale. The average adds every sale together and divides by the number of sales. In 40059, the monthly average ran above the median in every month listed above, because a group of $1 million-plus sales pulls the average up. For a typical home, the median is the better guide.
Where Prices Fall
Of the 445 sales in the past 12 months, 61 closed under $400,000 and 155 closed under $600,000. On the other end, about one in five sold for $1 million or more. See Homes under $600K and Luxury homes in Prospect.
The Risk of Using the Wrong Number
If you budget off a headline average, you may think Prospect is out of reach when it isn't. If you price a home off one hot month, you could overprice and sit on the market. The number that matters is what homes like yours, or like the one you want, actually sold for.
Your 3-Step Plan
- Pick your neighborhood and price band using the numbers above and the neighborhood guides on this blog.
- Get the closest comparable sales: similar size, age, and street, from the past 3–6 months.
- Talk it through with me so your budget or list price rests on real sales, not estimates.
Do that, and you'll walk into a showing or a listing appointment knowing exactly where the numbers stand.
