How to read this chart
Values here come from Zillow Home Value Index for Augusta, and each point gives the smoothed, seasonally adjusted value of a typical home in the market's middle third, in dollars of the month. A hollow dot marks the month the slider sits on, and the terracotta dot shows the latest month. These numbers are not adjusted for inflation. An index follows the typical home, not one particular house, so use the sale-price card or the home appreciation calculator to work out the value of a single home from its own sale price.
