The prices for December out performed their 2008 counterparts, but barely. The average home price was $206,500, which was 2 percent higher than the $201,700 price in 2008. This was also the highest price seen in the area since August 2009. The median home price was $152,300, which was 3 percent higher than last December. An average price higher than the median implies there are some high priced outliers dragging up the mean. An analysis on home prices will follow.
