Why do property an analysts use median house price?

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Median house price explained
There are technical reasons why the median provides a more accurate picture of what is happening to the prices of houses rather than the average.

As an example, assume there are 11 houses sold in a month with a price range of $200,000 to $300,000 and an average price of $250,000.

Now replace one of those houses with a house that sold for $1 million. The average is now $318,182, even though 10 of the 11 houses for the month sold for less than this value.

The median would be the price of the middle house sold in the range (in this case the sixth house), which more accurately reflects what the majority of the houses sold for.

REINZ uses medians to provide a more accurate measure of the mid-point of house prices that reflects what most people are going to be buying and selling houses for.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
