John - Good question. Average price is computed by taking the total and dividing by the number of units, while Median (price) is the Price of the middle unit. i.e. If three homes sold for $200,000, $300,000, and $1,000,000, the average would be the sum divided by 3, or $1,500,000 / 3 = $500,000. The Median is the price of the middle unit, in this case $300,000. The median price is a useful metric IF there are extremes on either end of the spectrum. While the average (price) will be skewed if 10% of the samples were extremely high (say 10% of homes sold for $20-million, while most of the rest sold for around $500K), the median price isn't influenced by extremes on either end of the data set.
