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 Arapahoe.

Aggregate median +0.0% YoY in Arapahoe, CO (county), but the under-$500k tier is +1.0% — the headline median is essentially flat, so the tier move is what matters here. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 43.0% to 43.7% (+0.7pp) and the $1M+ share from 8.5% to 9.5% (+1.0pp).
