What is the lower quartile, median, and upper quartile? Imagine that all properties were listed lowest to highest in order. The median house price, would represent the property lying right in the centre. The lower quartile would represent the property lying 25% from the bottom, and the upper quartile would represent the property lying 25% from the top. Why use median, lower quartlie, and upper quartile? We could take the mean price (which would simply be the sum of the all of the individual prices, divided by the total properties - this is what most people mean when we say average). Unfortunately, the mean price can easily be affected by properties which are not reflective of the market as a whole. Imagine that a very large manor house is suddenly on the market for £2 million - this would very much distort the true picture of the local market, but has very little impact on the median price.
