How to read this chart
Each point plots the Zillow Home Value Index for Fort Worth, which values a typical home in the market's middle third, smoothed and seasonally adjusted, in that month's dollars. The month on the slider is marked by a hollow dot, and the latest month by the terracotta dot. No inflation adjustment applies to these figures. An index tracks a typical home rather than any one house. To find what a single home is worth, use the card above or the home appreciation calculator with its own sale price.
