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 Denver.

Aggregate median +2.5% YoY in Denver, CO (county), but the under-$500k tier is +1.3% — both the aggregate and the entry tier are rising. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 46.4% to 44.3% (-2.0pp) and the $1M+ share from 12.1% to 13.4% (+1.3pp).

ZIP-level history was too thin to draw the tiers; served at county level (Denver, CO), by quarter.

If the upper tiers widen over time, the headline median rises on composition alone.

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.
