I never even thought about it, but I completely agree with you. I’ve always felt similar about the median. One inexpensive or very expensive sale throws the whole thing off.
The supply and demand aspect of the article is very compelling. Another reason that unless we get more entry level supply prices will sustain themselves unless people move.
I actually kinda dig the “one and done” mentality. Unfortunately, I’d imagine most are not doing it by choice though. Reminds me of my grandparents where they added a room as needed when the family grew, but never financed anything in their lives.
