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 +0.0% YoY in this ZIP, but the under-$500k tier is +0.0% — both are essentially flat year over year. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 15.2% to 15.6% (+0.4pp) and the $1M+ share from 7.2% to 7.9% (+0.7pp).

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.
