Now it shouldn't take much thought to see that the distribution of real estate in almost every community is positively skewed. There are many lower cost homes, fewer medium priced houses, and in every town, you can drive to that section where the wealthy people live. There are few of these homes. Obviously this distribution is positively skewed. If your newspaper reports the average price of a home in town, that value would be higher than either the median price of a home or the modal price of a house.
