Does anyone have any thoughts on how realistic indices are that claim to measure price increases in real estate. I've noticed in Massachusetts that multi-million dollar homes are not selling. Starter homes and homes in less than prime areas are moving fast and prices are increasing. Even though an index might not indicate a huge price increase, compared to prior years, the working class home buyer is still seeing higher prices here.

I guess my question is this - If someone sells 1 million dollar home, it tends to skew the index. Are the indices median or mean based?
