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 Durham.
Aggregate median +0.2% YoY in Durham, NC (metro), but the under-$500k tier is -2.7% — 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 37.9% to 37.9% (-0.0pp) and the $1M+ share from 15.0% to 14.2% (-0.8pp).
