What Median Homes In Tallahassee Looked Like Over The Past 10 Years
We often produce reports on the median home price and median home value in Tallahassee, but today we're going to add a twist.
We have assembled pictures of houses that represent the median homes in Tallahassee for the past ten years.
As a reminder, median simply means "middle," and there is more than one way to choose the "middle" or median home in Tallahassee.
For the purpose of this real estate report, we've chosen a home for each year from 2006 through 2015 that best reflects the median home price, median home size, and median home value for the year that it was sold.
Enjoy!
