How to read this chart
Each point plots the Zillow Home Value Index for Nashville: what a typical home in the market's middle third is worth, smoothed and seasonally adjusted, with the value given in dollars of the month. The month on the slider is marked by a hollow dot, while a terracotta dot shows the latest month. These figures do not account for inflation, and an index tracks the typical home rather than any one house: use the card above or the home appreciation calculator to work out what a single home is worth from its own sale price.
