How to read this chart
Each point plots the Zillow Home Value Index for Murfreesboro: it represents a typical home's value within the market's middle third, smoothed and seasonally adjusted, expressed in that month's dollars. The hollow dot identifies the selected month on the slider, while the terracotta dot shows the most recent month. These figures do not account for inflation, and an index tracks a typical home rather than one particular house. Use the card above it or the calculator for home appreciation to work out one home's value from its sale price.
