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 -2.8% YoY in this ZIP, but the under-$500k tier is +4.6% — the aggregate is falling while the entry tier rises. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 10.1% to 6.6% (-3.5pp) and the $1M+ share from 28.4% to 31.0% (+2.6pp).

Median within each tier, against the headline median (quarterly)

The blue line is the single number NAR-style reporting quotes. The gold lines are what each tier actually did. Log scale — the tiers span an order of magnitude, and on a log axis equal slopes mean equal percentage moves, which is the comparison being made.
