Who it suits
This ZIP suits a buyer who wants the price to be predictable: with half the sales inside about a $65,000 window, the median is a fair guide to what a typical house costs. It suits less well a buyer who wants new construction or a choice among several school districts. And with an O-3 allowance clearing the estimate by only $51, insurance can erase the margin.
