The median for the entire condo + TIC + SFR market looks like this, ytd (1/1-6/10), YoY: 2009: 1396 sales 675K median 2010: 1915 sakes 705K median I like to talk about this stuff, and am happy to do so. But I can do without "absurd + ridiculous spin + nonsense + 7th grade + Modesto + 2006! + prices not fallen!" or similar.

Median prices broken down by price tiers is just total nonsense as anyone who learned about medians in 7th grade could tell you. Guess what, the median sale price for houses in Modesto in the $500k-$520k price tier is exactly the same as it was in 2006! Wow, same thing in the $400k-$420k tier! I guess prices in Modesto have not fallen at all! That is an absolutely absurd way to look at medians and yields nothing but ridiculous spin.
