Asking prices
What sellers request. Widely available, easily inflated, and not proof of what anybody paid.

What sellers request. Widely available, easily inflated, and not proof of what anybody paid.
The price agreed between parties — closer to reality, but not necessarily the completed price.
A completed transaction confirmed against evidence. The strongest class, and the rarest.
A professional or model estimate. Useful context, never evidence of a sale.
Observations past the freshness horizon. Reported as history, never as today's market.
Averaging an asking price with a verified transaction produces a number that describes nothing. Each class is computed separately, and every figure states its class.
