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 +6.4% YoY in this ZIP, but the under-$500k tier is +5.3% — both the aggregate and the entry tier are rising. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 39.5% to 35.2% (-4.3pp) and the $1M+ share from 10.1% to 9.0% (-1.1pp).

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.
