When it comes to house price statistics, the choice of average matters.

We're aligning our monthly house price statistics with our Property Market Report by focusing on median house prices as the primary measure.

This blog explains why the median house price is a more robust measure of the Scottish housing market than the mean, and how it helps provide a clearer picture of property prices across Scotland. 📊
