I think it does have some value for me.
The data is area average, so if it can not apply to a purchase, that is just ok. Would you say national housing price trend is “totally useless”, just because it does not apply to Mira Mesa or Carmel Valley ?
Or unemployment rate is useless to you because you still have a job ?
Same here. An average is an average. nothing more, nothing less, but that does not mean they have no value at all.
