How to read the chart
The Zillow Home Value Index for Huntington Beach appears at every point and measures a typical home in the market's middle third, after smoothing and seasonal adjustment, using that month's dollar values. On the slider, the hollow dot identifies the selected month, while the terracotta dot shows the latest month. These figures are not adjusted for inflation. An index tracks a typical home rather than one specific house: to find what a single home is worth, work from its own sale price using the card above or the home appreciation calculator.
