Price Bands — the median behind the median

A single median rises whenever expensive homes become a bigger share of what sells, even if no tier got more expensive. These are the tiers underneath it, computed from recorded arms-length deed transactions in Jefferson.

Aggregate median -2.3% YoY in this ZIP, but the under-$500k tier is +2.0% — the aggregate is falling while the entry tier rises. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 29.2% to 29.0% (-0.2pp) and the $1M+ share from 7.5% to 5.6% (-1.8pp).
