Charleston Single Family Home Statistics

Below are the stats for sales of single family homes for different areas of Charleston. The first line for each area is for the period 1/1/07-8/6/07 and the second line is for the period 1/1/08-8/6/08 with the percentage change from the first line. Notice that these are average sales prices. I usually use median sales prices, but since I'm looking at a comparison from year to year, average sales price should show about the same percentage change. I was using the 'Sales by Area' chart on the MLS and that chart only shows average sales price.
