I really hate to pile on but this one was too funny to pass up. Seems our favorite realtor analyst reported that the sales volume in 92009 dropped a disappointing 50% and the average sales price dropped about $40K. Unfortunately, he seems to be unaware that the ZIP Code was split last June into two ZIPS (92009 and 92011-where the more expensive homes are). Combine the two ZIP and the numbers are completely different (80% of last year’s volume and up $10K in average price).
