How to read the chart
Each point on the chart comes from the Zillow Home Value Index for New Braunfels. It shows what a home typical for the middle third of the market was worth, smoothed and seasonally adjusted, in that month's dollars. The hollow dot shows the month on the slider, while the terracotta dot shows the latest month. No inflation adjustment applies to these figures, 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.
