Look at South Surrey/White Rock. Half as many sales as last year, average down, median down, benchmark up!
Very odd. To have the median and average down so much YOY and yet the benchmark up so much. We will let that go without comment and assume that they have used some sort of reproducible methodology to calculate the benchmark.
