Confusion about the market

[Cory Sanders]

Hello All!

I am a newbie in real estate and have even taken steps to become a licensed real estate agent in the state of Texas. I really want to focus on fix and flip to begin with then possibly move to buy and hold later. I analyze deals regularly but I get confused about the list price versus what an app like Trulia or Zillow will say is the median market price for a neighborhood. Example: List $49,500 Median list price for the neighborhood $89,000. Maybe I am thinking too hard but any help would be welcome. Thank you!
