Why the median is not your property’s price
A median is the middle price: half the sales were below it, half above. It takes no account of the floor, the aspect, the view, the condition, the energy rating or the distance to the lifts. In Chamonix, where 69 % of dwellings are second homes, whether the property can be let also bears on its value. Two neighbouring apartments can sit well away from the median.
