Median Price: An actual sale at or immediately adjacent to the midpoint in a price group. In the case of an even number of sales, the median is the

highest price in the lower half of that price group. If the total number of sales is an odd amount, the midpoint sale is taken to be the median (i.e. 9

sales, sale no. 5 represents the median).
