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 Elbert.
Aggregate median +11.6% YoY in Elbert, CO (county), but the under-$500k tier is -13.8% — the rise is mix shift, not appreciation. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 28.7% to 16.5% (-12.2pp) and the $1M+ share from 5.7% to 5.8% (+0.1pp).
