Foot. by MonthThe following data is a historic representation of average price per square foot for single family residences sold between July 1994 and September 2006 in Kern County.

$ per SF is such a good yardstick, I wish more people would chart it. It smooths out a lot of distoration from seaonality and home sizes, things which really move the median sale price around.

Think about it. If you were charting beef, you'd do it by the pound. Or gas, by the gallon.
