Agreed. It's an imperfect measure.

I lobbied to put both on here, but then you end up with an unreadable map.

You do have to pick something and run with it, I understand that. But price per square foot is pretty bogus because one cannot buy housing by the square foot. You have to buy it per _house_. I think you could make a fair comparison if you went with median 2-bedroom sale price instead.
Sure, but there are areas where there really aren't many 2 bedroom houses or they aren't really representative of the local real estate.
Maybe just an average price per bedroom.
