Average Sales Price Comparison January 2006 vs. 2007 (94602)

Yes, I know it's hard to believe, but the average sales price appears to be rising, not falling. Also suprising is the fact that the average closed price was higher than list for Jan. 2007, but lower in Jan. 2006. Sales volume is drastically down compared to a year ago: 22 homes sold in Jan. 2006, but less than half that amount sold in Jan. 2007. The average marketing time (DOM) for properties also lengthened significantly from 38 days of the market to 56 days; a 47% increase. What's going on? I have some ideas and will explore them in other articles, but I welcome your insight as well.
