Price bandsmix-shift

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 Adams.

Aggregate median +1.0% YoY in Adams, CO (county), but the under-$500k tier is -0.4% — the rise is mix shift, not appreciation. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 54.1% to 52.7% (-1.4pp) and the $1M+ share from 2.8% to 2.6% (-0.2pp).

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

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.
