Compare Time Periods
How the Lake Forest market is moving. Each period is compared with the same stretch one year earlier, so seasonal swings do not skew the trend.
A small number of sales can swing these figures. Use them as a direction, not a precise value.
Price and Days-on-Market Trends
Each point is the median of sales in the 6 months ending that month, which smooths out the swings a handful of sales can cause. Hover or tap a point to see how many sales are behind it.

Why we show the median, not the average
The median is the middle sale: half sold for more, half for less. One unusually large or small home can pull the average far from what a typical home sold for, especially in a neighborhood with only a few sales, so the median is the better guide to your own home. We show the average next to the median price at the top of this page; when the two are far apart, a few unusual sales are skewing the average.
Priced Right vs. Price Cuts
Does Lot Size Change the Price?
Sales from the last 3 years grouped by lot size. Bigger lots often come with bigger homes, so compare the price per square foot, not just the price.
