This is a US average, correct? In the areas I'm looking at to purchase, prices dipped a little, then increased again this past month. One house I was about to tour sold prior to the weekend open house. I don't know who can afford US$1.2+ million houses (not me), but they seem to be quite active and prices are not wavering, thus causing many houses that I thought were affordable to go up in price.
