"The median is the middle number in a given sequence of numbers. Comparing April 2008 to April 2007, there were less homes in the higher end of the spectrum, thus tightening the variations in home values sold and lowering the median. This data cannot be construed to indicate that any individual home value has absolutely increased or decreased, it is an indicator of the price range of home that is selling at the time interval measured. The market remains a great buyers market. There is also good news for sellers; the days on the market decreased by 10 days compared to March 2008 signaling an uptick in the market," said Kathie Moore, 2008 President of the Williamson County Association of REALTORS®.
