How to read this chart
Every point represents the Zillow Home Value Index for Boise. It shows a typical home's value in the middle third of the market, with smoothing and seasonal adjustment, in that month's dollars. The hollow dot shows the month on the slider, while the terracotta dot shows the latest month. No inflation adjustment is applied to these numbers. The index tracks the typical home rather than one particular house. To estimate that house's value from its own sale price, use either the card directly above or the calculator for home appreciation.
