How to read this chart
Every point shows the Zillow Home Value Index for Corpus Christi: a typical home's value in the market's middle third, smoothed and seasonally adjusted, in that month's dollars. The hollow dot shows the month picked on the slider, and the terracotta dot shows the latest month. These figures are not adjusted for inflation. The index tracks the typical home rather than any single house, so to work out one house's value, use its own sale price together with the card above it, or try the home appreciation calculator.
