How good is that professional athlete? Well, let’s take a look at his or her stats. What’s the batting average? What’s the shooting percentage? From 3-point range? Free Throws? What’s the yards per carry average. What’s the yards after contact average? What is the average air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Be the first person to write in or call with that movie reference and I’ll send you a Starbucks gift card. What’s your miles per gallon? How long is your average daily commute? On average, how many hours do you spend watching TV every day? Statistics are all around us all the time. Today I’m going to BLOW YOUR MIND with a complete set of real estate statistics.

Yes I studied statistics in college AND in graduate school. At the graduate level my statistics course, FED 790, was one of my favorite courses. Not so much because of the content, but because the professor was one of the most delightful persons I have ever met. He managed to make a drudgery topic into a class I looked forward to each week. That’s no small feat, because when you are digging deeply into research summaries looking for statistical significance, errors in math, illogical assumptions, blah blah blah. I won’t make you go through any of that pain today. In fact, you don’t even have to do the research. BUT - if you get a copy of the show notes, you will have clickable links for every stat I’m about to throw at you.
