Creswell market.

Prices are up 6.2% on the same period last year.

This is a fast market. At 5 days a well-priced house is gone before most buyers have finished arranging a viewing, and there is very little room to test a price. It has tightened sharply — a year ago it was 31 days.

13 homes sold in the month — enough to be meaningful, few enough that the mix of what sold still moves the median.

A median is the middle of what sold — not a valuation of any particular house. Two properties on the same street can sit either side of it for reasons a median cannot see: acreage, water, septic, outbuildings, condition. If you want to know what a specific place is worth, that takes comparables, and I will run them.
