The median sale price is the sale price that is in the middle when you arrange all the sale prices from low to high. The median sale price is a better indicator of the "typical" home value within an area because it is not affected by "outliers" like the more expensive houses sold in the golf course communities of Chaparral Pines or The Rim Club. So when you think of your typical cabin home price in Payson, you have to keep in mind these outlying factors.
The average home sale price for a home in Payson AZ in 2020 is $332,665, in comparison to the median sales price of $274,000.The average sale price is calculated by adding all the sale prices for homes sold in a specific area within a specified time frame and dividing that total by the number of properties sold. For example, if 100 properties sold in Payson in the last year, the average home price is calculated by adding the sale prices for all 100 properties and dividing that figure by 100.
The problem with the average sale price is that when you take into consideration neighborhoods like The Rim Club and Chaparral Pines where properties were sold at an extraordinarily high price, the average is skewed higher as a result. So you can see, the average becomes a somewhat unreliable metric.
