How to read this chart
Every point on the chart shows the Lake Havasu City Zillow Home Value Index, which, smoothed and seasonally adjusted, values a typical home in the market's middle third, in that month's dollars. The open circle shows the month selected on the slider, and the terracotta dot shows the most recent month. Inflation is not factored into these figures, and an index tracks the typical home instead of a particular house: for a single home, start from its own sale price; the card above it and the home appreciation calculator both work.
