"Days on Market" is often referred to as "Market Time" and counts the number of days the property has been active.  It includes the days the current listing agent has offered the property for sale as well as the days any other real estate broker(s) may have had this same listing in the recent past.

"Median Sales Price" is the midpoint between the High price and the Low price and is not the same as the "Average Sales Price".  Since a few high prices or low prices can skew the "Average Price", the real estate industry places more credibility on the "Median Price" to indicate a specific area's home values within a specified timeframe.
