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 Boulder.

Aggregate median +0.6% YoY in this ZIP, but the under-$500k tier is +4.3% — the headline median is essentially flat, so the tier move is what matters here. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 12.6% to 10.6% (-2.0pp) and the $1M+ share from 58.4% to 61.6% (+3.3pp).

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.
