How to read the graph
Each plotted value uses the Zillow Home Value Index for Myrtle Beach. It shows the smoothed and seasonally adjusted value of a typical home in the market's middle third, measured in that month's dollars. A hollow dot marks the month chosen on the slider, and a terracotta dot marks the latest month. No inflation adjustment applies to these figures. The index tracks a typical home rather than a particular house. To find one property's value using its own sale price, use the card above or the appreciation calculator.
