How to read the chart
Each point plots the Zillow Home Value Index for Stamford, which values a typical home in the market's middle third after smoothing and seasonal adjustment, in dollars of the month. On the slider, the hollow dot identifies the selected month, while the terracotta dot identifies the most recent month. These figures do not adjust for inflation, and an index tracks the typical home rather than one particular house: to figure out one home's value from what it sold for, use the card above or the appreciation calculator.
