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 Harnett.

Aggregate median -1.9% YoY in this ZIP, but the under-$500k tier is -2.1% — the aggregate and the entry tier are moving together. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 46.3% to 49.2% (+2.9pp) and the $1M+ share from 0.7% to 2.4% (+1.6pp).
