How to read this chart
Every point shows the Zillow Home Value Index for Atlanta: what a typical home in the market's middle third was worth, smoothed and seasonally adjusted, measured in that month's dollars. The hollow dot marks the month set on the slider, and the terracotta dot marks the most recent month. No inflation adjustment is applied here, and an index describes the typical home rather than one particular house: to find what a single home is worth, work from its own sale price using the card above, or the home appreciation calculator.
