How to read this chart
Every point represents the Zillow Home Value Index for Macon, which measures a typical home's value within the market's middle third. The series is smoothed and seasonally adjusted, with values expressed in that month's dollars. The hollow dot shows the month picked on the slider; the terracotta dot shows the most recent month. No inflation adjustment is applied, and an index tracks the typical home rather than any one house, so use the card above or the appreciation calculator to value a single home from its own sale price.
