How to read the chart
Each point represents the Zillow Home Value Index for Katy, which measures a typical home in the market's middle third. Its value is shown in that month's dollars and is smoothed and seasonally adjusted. The hollow dot marks the month chosen on the slider; the terracotta dot marks the latest month. These figures are not adjusted for inflation. An index tracks the typical home rather than one particular house. To work out what a single home is worth, use its own sale price in the card above it, or in the home appreciation calculator.
